Meatloaf is undoubtedly delicious, but it’s not necessarily known for being healthy. In fact, when made using 80% lean ground beef, one pound of meatloaf contains roughly 1,152 calories. But when you cut that down to a serving size of about 4 ounces, it’s 350 calories, which seems a lot more reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that still seems like too many meatloaf calories for you, there are a few strategies to bring that number down. You can start by swapping out 80% lean beef with 90% instead. Doing this alone will lower the calories in one 4-ounce slice to about 225 calories. You can also choose to use a healthier ground beef alternative, such as ground turkey: A 4-ounce slice of turkey meatloaf only has about 192 calories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
