About Cheese hamburger
A cheese hamburger is a staple of American cuisine, consisting of a ground beef patty, often topped with a slice of cheese, and served between a bun. It originated in the United States in the early 20th century and has since become globally popular, appearing in various cultural adaptations. Cheese hamburgers are a source of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. A standard cheese hamburger (with a 90g beef patty, slice of cheddar, and bun) typically contains around 350–450 calories, 20–25g of protein, 15–20g of fat, and 30–35g of carbohydrates. Additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and onions can enhance its nutritional value with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants.
Health Benefits
- High in protein (20–25g per serving), which supports muscle repair and growth.
- Provides calcium from the cheese slice (150–200mg), promoting bone health and nerve function.
- Rich in iron from the beef patty (2.5–3mg), essential for oxygen transport and energy production.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3–4 days. If using raw beef patties, refrigerate promptly and cook within 1–2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Common Questions About Cheese hamburger Nutrition
How much protein and calories does a cheese hamburger have?
A typical cheese hamburger contains approximately 15-20 grams of protein and around 300-500 calories, depending on the size, type of cheese, and condiments used. It also provides small amounts of calcium, iron, and vitamin B12 from the beef and cheese.
Can I eat a cheese hamburger on a keto or low-carb diet?
Yes, cheese hamburgers can fit into a keto or low-carb diet if served without a bun and high-carb condiments like ketchup. Without the bun, a cheese hamburger typically contains 2-5 grams of net carbs, making it a suitable option for these diets.
Are there health concerns with eating cheese hamburgers regularly?
Cheese hamburgers are high in saturated fat and sodium, which can contribute to heart disease and high blood pressure if consumed excessively. They may also contain added preservatives if processed patties or cheeses are used. Moderation and choosing whole ingredients can reduce health risks.
What is the recommended serving size for a cheese hamburger?
A single cheeseburger patty (around 3-4 ounces) topped with one slice of cheese is considered a standard portion size. Overloading with large portions or extras, like multiple patties or cheese slices, can increase calorie and fat intake significantly.
How does a cheese hamburger compare to other fast-food burgers?
Compared to fast-food burgers, homemade cheese hamburgers often have fewer additives and preservatives and can be tailored to suit dietary needs. Fast-food versions generally have higher sodium levels and calorie counts due to oversized portions and high-fat condiments.
