% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

There are 13 essential vitamins required for the body to work properly, which are categorised into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Vitamins have a Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), provided by the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), which vary by age and sex. The %DV indicates how much one serving contributes to the average recommended daily intake.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Ground beef is a high-quality protein source, with clinical evidence demonstrating that 85% lean ground beef significantly improves muscle protein synthesis following exercise in middle-aged men and that minced beef is rapidly digested for enhanced postprandial protein retention in older men. As a nutrient-dense food, lean ground beef provides essential vitamins and minerals, including highly bioavailable heme iron, which observational evidence suggests can improve iron levels by being easily absorbed by the body. However, Harvard Health notes that ground beef with lower lean percentages can contain unhealthy levels of saturated fats and sodium, which is a concern for health.
