[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1332428, member: 245335"] You're not comparing like with like. You might think that something like pork is high in calories being about 240 calories per 100 gms. Just over half that 100 gms is water, so that's more like 480 calories. Steak is even worse with about 75% water. To make life even more interesting some meats are injected with water to increase their weight. I think when looking at calories, just worry about the wet weight. [/QUOTE]
