Compare Beef Cuts
Compare ribeye vs sirloin, flank vs ribeye, and other common cuts with one shared raw-reference table for calories, protein, fat, iron, zinc, and reference price context.
Baseline
Per 100g raw
The default view stays anchored to per 100 gram raw reference values so the comparison remains stable and easy to audit.
Serving view
Scaled grams
Scale the same raw-reference values to your chosen gram amount without switching the page to a second cooked-data model.
Price context
Reference avg
Price stays visible as planning context, while the page keeps nutrition and price clearly separated.

Compare common beef cuts on one raw-reference grid
Per 100g raw reference
The table mirrors the current shared raw-reference dataset used by the cut pages. That dataset is maintained from USDA FoodData Central source records, so a shared cut update will flow through here as well.

Lower ref priceRibeye Steak
Well-marbled, tender, and flavorful steak from the rib section. Known for its rich taste and buttery texture due to intramuscular fat.

Data and methodology
How the comparison stays consistent
Shared raw baseline
This page reads from the same shared cut dataset used by the cut pages across the site. That dataset is maintained from USDA FoodData Central raw-reference records so the comparison page does not introduce a second nutrition model.
Serving-size scaling only
The scaled-serving view multiplies the same raw-reference values by your selected gram amount. It is a display change, not a separate cooked-data mode.
Reference average price
Average price is shown as a planning reference per pound. It helps practical comparison, but it should not be treated like a fixed live market price for every store or region.
What this page does not do
This round stays raw-only. It does not add cooked toggles, dedicated versus URLs, or chart-heavy visuals. The main goal is a clearer, more trustworthy side-by-side table tied to the shared site dataset.
Frequently asked
Common questions before comparing cuts
What does the comparison table measure?
The table compares shared per 100 gram raw reference values for calories, protein, fat, iron, zinc, and reference average price. It is built to help you scan common cuts side by side without switching between multiple pages.
Are these values per 100g raw?
Yes. The default view shows per 100 gram raw reference values. You can switch to a scaled serving view, but the baseline still stays tied to the same raw-reference dataset.
How do I compare ribeye vs sirloin or flank vs ribeye?
Choose any two cuts in the first two slots. The page will show a side-by-side table and a difference summary so you can compare calories, protein, fat, protein density, and reference price more quickly.
Why can store labels or butcher labels differ from this table?
Store labels can vary by trim, grade, cut naming, and in-house preparation. This page uses one shared raw-reference dataset so the comparison stays consistent across the site.
Is the price shown a fixed market price?
No. The price row is a planning reference only. Shelf price can move with region, store, trim, and grade, so treat it as context rather than a guaranteed live market quote.
Practical scan
Use the table to compare protein, fat, and calories quickly before opening a deeper cut-specific calculator.
Buying context
Keep price context visible while remembering that trim, grade, store, and region can shift the shelf number.
Stable compare page
The route stays one canonical comparison page rather than trying to create a separate search page for every cut pairing.
