Ultra-processed diets add ~500 kcal/day. A consistent finding (Hall et al., Cell Metab 2019). Per 100 g: 339 kcal, 14 g protein, 31 g fat. Processed sausages are among the densest calorie sources — small portions, big numbers.
How should I track Sausage, breakfast links (processed)?
Sausage, breakfast links (processed) is a good source of zinc. The simplest way to track Sausage, breakfast links (processed) accurately is to weigh it raw, before cooking. According to USDA cooking yield data, meat loses 20–30% of its weight during cooking as moisture evaporates — so 150 g raw becomes roughly 105–120 g cooked. If you log the cooked weight using raw nutrition values, you will undercount your protein and calories. A kitchen scale takes the guesswork out of it. Quick tip: cook a batch, weigh it before and after, and you will know your personal shrink ratio for next time.
