About Patties

Patties are compact, disc-shaped servings of food commonly made from ground meat, beans, legumes, vegetables, or grains. They are popular across various cuisines, particularly in fast food, Caribbean, and South Asian dishes. Patties are versatile, serving as a main ingredient in sandwiches or on their own, often baked or pan-fried. Their nutritional profile varies depending on the ingredients, but an average patty with a mix of protein and fat provides around 250 calories, 10g of protein, and 20g of carbs. Some may contain added fiber and iron, depending on vegetable or grain-based inclusions, but they are often low in calcium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D unless fortified.

Health Benefits

• Provides a good source of protein (10g per serving), supporting muscle repair and growth.
• Contains iron (1.5mg per serving), vital for oxygen transport and reducing the risk of anemia.
• Offers energy from a balanced macronutrient composition: carbs, protein, and fats, aiding in sustained energy throughout the day.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (if using breadcrumbs or fillers), dairy (if cheese or milk is added), egg (if used as a binder)

Suitable for: Omnivorous diets, high-protein diets, flexitarian diets (if made with plant-based ingredients)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (if using animal-derived ingredients), gluten-free diets (if gluten-containing fillers are used)

Selection and Storage

Store patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If freezing, wrap them individually to prevent sticking, and defrost in the fridge before reheating thoroughly.

Common Questions About Patties Nutrition

Are patties a good source of protein?

Patties typically contain about 10g of protein per serving (250 calories), which makes them a moderate protein source. However, they are often higher in fat (15g) and carbohydrates (20g) compared to lean protein options like chicken breast or fish.

Can I eat patties on a keto diet?

Patties may not be ideal for a strict keto diet due to their relatively high carbohydrate content (20g per serving). A keto diet typically limits carbs to 20-50g per day, so patties could take up a significant portion of your daily allowance unless you find a low-carb or keto-friendly version.

Are patties healthy to eat regularly?

Patties can be part of a balanced diet, but they are relatively high in calories (250 per serving), fat (15g), and sodium (400mg). Consuming them in moderation and pairing them with vegetables or whole grains can help improve their nutritional profile. Opt for homemade or minimally processed patties to control added ingredients like salt and preservatives.

What is the recommended portion size for patties?

One patty, typically around 4 ounces, is considered a standard portion size with approximately 250 calories. To maintain a balanced meal, it's best to pair it with a healthy fat source like avocado and nutrient-rich vegetables to round out your plate.

How do patties compare to other quick protein options like grilled chicken or tofu?

Compared to grilled chicken, which has around 25g of protein and 3g of fat per serving, patties are higher in fat (15g) and lower in protein (10g). Tofu, on the other hand, offers about 8g of protein and 4g of fat per 3-ounce serving, making it a low-fat, vegetarian alternative. Patties also contain more sodium (400mg) than these options, so if you’re watching sodium intake, alternatives like grilled chicken or tofu may be better.
