USDA regression analysis for beef data |
USDA Ground Beef Calculator |
USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory launched some years ago a new nutrient search program,
the Ground Beef Calculator, which provides the user with nutrient information for retail
ground beef products containing any level of fat between 3% and 30%.
From the Ground Beef Calculator the relationship between content
of a component and the total lipid content can be estimated:

USDA Retail Beef Cuts, Release 3 - linear regression results |
Roseland et al (2013) describe the collaborative study conducted to determine the mathematical
relationship between individual nutrients and fat content of raw retail beef cuts from which a regression analysis can be performed.
The data have been published in tables that provide nutrient profiles for raw and cooked beef cuts of varying fat content.
Using reverse engineering on these raw beef data, it is possible
to deduct the regression equations.
The following linear regression equations of the content of components by total lipid content have been deducted:
