Beef brisket: nutrition per 100 g and example portion
Reference preparation: raw beef brisket. The exact source name is “Beef brisket” (Fineli food 721). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.
Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

How to weigh beef brisket
These are raw brisket values. Smoked barbecue brisket may lose water and fat and may include rub, sugar or glaze. The package weight before cooking and the sliced cooked weight are different bases for nutrient calculations.
Calculate your own beef brisket portion
For the 150 g example, multiply the source amounts by 150 ÷ 100 = 1.5. The unrounded energy calculation is 153.4 × 1.5 = 230.1 kcal, displayed as approximately 230 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.
For another amount, replace 150 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as raw beef brisket; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.
How preparation changes the estimate
For homemade brisket, record the raw cut and sauce, then weigh the finished edible meat and the sauce you serve. Fat and liquid discarded during cooking create uncertainty. A restaurant portion is best logged as an estimate with those assumptions visible.
Meal ideas using beef brisket
Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.
