ROUND 1 - CALORIES

Gardein :  140
Lean GB - 240

WINNER: Gardein Beefless Ground

At 100 Calories less per serving it's obvious which of the two is the winner here. Neither option is incredibly high but Gardein certainly wins this one!

ROUND 2 - FAT

Gardein -   3.5g         5% D.V
Lean GB - 16.16g      25% D.V

WINNER: Gardein Beefless Ground

There is no denying the numbers here!  Lean Ground Beef sits at a quarter of your daIly fat intake per serving, you'd better be eating light the rest of the day, and skip the seconds!

ROUND 3 - SODIUM

Gardein -    310mg         13% D.V.
Lean GB -  348mg         14% D.V.

WINNER - TIE

Both options are just about equal here so we will call this one a tie!

ROUND 4 - PROTEIN

Gardein -    18g
Lean GB -   22.05g

WINNER: Lean Ground Beef

Both options offer a large amount of protein per serving but the Lean Ground Beef inches ahead. You must however, consider the fact that 4g of protein will cost you 100 calories and 13g of fat. Doesn't really seem worth it.

ROUND 5 - VITAMINS AND MINERALS

WINNER: Gardein Beefless Ground

There is a significant difference in the vitamins and minerals provided between the two competitors. Gardein takes the prize here with a whopping 9 Vitamins and Minerals at over 10% of your daily value! That's like a multivitamin in a meal !


AND THE WINNER IS . . . .

GARDEIN BEEFLESS GROUND


It was a good fight but Gardein Beefless Ground takes the prize of most nutritious ground beef product. Loads of vitamins, protein, and low on the fat and calories, Gardein Beefless Ground is a nutritious addition to your next meal!
