How Many Calories Are In Beyond Burger? | Smart Calorie Math

The label on the current U.S. patty shows 230 calories per 113 g serving. A Canada label shows 220 calories per 113 g serving. Differences come from recipe tweaks and regional rounding rules, so treat the label you have in hand as the source of truth (see the U.S. nutrition panel on Beyond’s product page).

Calories In A Plant-Based Patty: What The Label Tells You

A single patty is the standard serving. The listed calories cover the patty only. That means buns, cheese, spreads, oil in the skillet, and toppings sit on top of that baseline. The newest avocado-oil recipe lists 230 calories and 21 g protein on the U.S. page, which lines up with independent nutrition databases reporting about 231 calories per patty. U.S. label and independent profile both reflect that range.

Why You Might See 220–230 Calories

Packaging varies by market. A Canadian label lists 220 calories for the same 113 g size, while prior U.S. versions and some retailer pages show between 230 and 270. The company updated its blend over time, moving to avocado oil and adjusting protein sources, which shifted saturated fat and sodium while keeping calories in the low-to-mid 200s per patty.

Early Math: Common Add-Ons And Their Calories

Use the table below to build your own number. Pick the items you like, then add them to the patty’s calories. Values are typical estimates; packages and recipes vary.

Component	Typical Portion	Calories
Plant-based patty	1 patty (113 g)	230
Sandwich bun (white)	1 bun	120–150
Whole-wheat bun	1 bun	130–170
Cheddar slice	1 slice	80–110
Dairy-free slice	1 slice	50–90
Avocado	50 g (slices)	80
Mayo	1 tbsp	90–100
Vegan mayo	1 tbsp	60–90
Ketchup	1 tbsp	15–20
Mustard	1 tbsp	5–10
Pickles	4–5 slices	5
Onion	2 rings	10
Lettuce & tomato	1 leaf + 2 slices	10–15
Cooking oil (pan-sear)	1 tsp left on patty	40
Plant-based bacon	2 strips	60–90

If you pan-sear, the oil you keep on the patty adds energy. That can change a tidy build fast, which is why checking the calories in different type of oils helps you portion the pour without guesswork.

How Many Calories In A Beyond Patty With Bun And Toppings

Here’s a simple way to land on a dependable total without math headache:

1. Start with 230 for the patty.
2. Add your bun (say 140).
3. Add cheese if you use it (say 90).
4. Add sauces (mayo 90; ketchup 20).
5. Add extras (avocado 80; plant-based bacon 70).

That stack comes out to 230 + 140 + 90 + 110 (sauces) + 150 (extras) = 720. Swap mayo for mustard, drop the bacon, or choose a lighter bun and you can shave 200–300 calories without changing the core flavor too much.

Pan-Searing, Air Frying, Or Grilling

Air fryers and grills tend to add little or no oil by default, so your number stays close to the label. A skillet adds whatever fat remains on the patty. A light spray is near-zero. A teaspoon of oil left on the food adds about 40 calories; a tablespoon adds about 120. Those small hits matter in a tight budget.

Cheese Choices And Swaps

Dairy slices range from 50 to 120 calories. Dairy-free slices vary widely too. If you like a melty hit but want a lower number, try a thin slice or grate half a slice to spread it out.

Smart Sauce Strategy

Mayo and creamy spreads pack more energy than mustards or relish. Mix mustard into a small spoon of mayo to stretch the flavor. Or go salsa for a bright kick with fewer calories.

Label Numbers, Macros, And What They Mean

Across versions, a single patty lands around 230 calories with roughly 20–21 g of protein, about 14 g of fat, and a small amount of carbs and fiber. That protein level makes it easy to hit a meal target without a giant portion. The current U.S. panel shows 230 calories per patty and 21 g protein, while independent databases report about 231 calories and a similar macro split. You can check both the brand’s panel and a database profile for a quick cross-check via the links earlier in this article.

How Recipe Tweaks Changed The Numbers

The brand moved to an avocado-oil blend and adjusted pea, fava, and lentil sources in recent updates, which lowered saturated fat and sodium compared with some prior labels while keeping calories in the same ballpark. That’s why you might spot older posts quoting 270 calories from earlier packaging.

Portion Control Without Losing Satisfaction

Two tricks work well. First, stack volume with lettuce, tomato, and onion so the burger feels generous. Second, pick one “luxury” add-on at a time—cheese or avocado or mayo—rather than all three.

Sample Builds You Can Copy

Use these as templates. We’re assuming no extra oil unless listed.

Build	Components	Estimated Calories
Light Lettuce Wrap	1 patty, lettuce wrap, tomato, onion, mustard	≈250–270
Classic Cheese	1 patty, bun, cheddar slice, ketchup, pickles	≈460–520
Hearty Double	2 patties, bun, cheese, mayo, ketchup	≈850–1,000

Meal Planning: Fit A Patty Into Your Day

If you build around 450–550 calories for the sandwich, you can still include a crisp side. Try a simple salad with a light vinaigrette, roasted vegetables, or air-fried potato wedges brushed with a teaspoon of oil. That keeps the plate satisfying without sending dinner over your budget.

When You Want More Protein

Add a scoop of edamame, a cup of lentil soup, or a high-protein yogurt on the side. Another option is a “protein style” burger: wrap the patty in lettuce, skip the bun, and keep the cheese. That puts most of your energy into protein and flavor rather than bread and sauce.

Restaurant And Retail Variations

Chain builds differ. Some spots butter the bun or pile on special sauce. If a menu lists nutrition, use that number; if not, match the closest build in the tables here and add a little cushion for oils and dressings.

Reading The Package For The Exact Number

Look for “Serving Size 1 Patty (113 g)” on the panel. The U.S. label lists 230 calories with the new avocado-oil recipe, and the macros sit in a familiar pattern near 20–21 g protein. You can verify on the brand’s nutrition page, which shows the panel and ingredients in full. Brand nutrition page.

Quick Cross-Check

Independent nutrition databases mirror the same neighborhood—about 231 calories per patty—so if your package looks slightly different, you’ll still be in range for everyday tracking. Here’s a handy reference profile: nutrition facts snapshot.

Topping Combos That Keep Numbers In Check

Try these swaps when you want that burger night feeling without a big spike:

• Use a thin bun or a single slice of toast for a patty melt vibe.
• Spread mashed avocado lightly, then add pickles and onions for punch.
• Blend mustard into a spoon of mayo so you use half the amount.
• Pan-sear with a measured teaspoon of oil; wipe the pan between batches.

Frequently Missed Calories

Extra oil on the skillet, “just a splash” of special sauce, and double cheese are the usual suspects. Measure once or twice to train your eye. After that, it gets easy to eyeball the dose and keep totals steady.

Bring It All Together

Start with the label—about 230 calories per patty—then pick your bun and one or two “flavor boosters.” That’s the simplest way to keep the sandwich in your target range without making it feel plain. If your goals include trimming daily intake, set a cap for sauces and cheeses and stick with mustard, pickles, and fresh veg on weeknights.
