How many grams in 1 lb of hamburger meat?
It depends on the meat from which the hamburger was made. The label in the store should tell you what percentage is not fat. Multiply that percentage by 4.54. Subtract that number from 454. The result will be the number of grams of fat in your 1lb bag. Note. you can't rely on high accuracy for the "percentage" on the label. Remember that hamburger is often made in the back of the store, and it's done by butchers, not scientists.
Is Heme iron absorbed better than nonheme iron?
Heme iron is much more absorbable than non-heme iron. Since the iron inanimal-based foods is about 40% heme iron and 60% non-heme iron, animal-basedfoods are good sources of absorbable iron. In contrast, all of the iron found in plantbasedfoods is non-heme iron. Meat, fish, and poultry also contain a special meatfactor that enhances the absorption of non-heme iron. Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid)also enhances the absorption of non-heme iron.
