Food experts say a standard beef patty weighs 4 to 6 ounces before cooking. However, what is the perfect size burger involves more than a single measurement, including ingredients, cooking methods, and personal taste.

According to the American Cancer Society, a 3-ounce portion of cooked meat is roughly the size of a deck of cards. So, is a 3oz burger a satisfying meal or merely an appetizer? The answer depends heavily on the burger's style, preparation, and your appetite.

Over 65% of a burger's composition is water, and that seemingly 'bloody' red liquid is mostly this water combined with a protein called myoglobin. While many people mistakenly believe this red liquid is blood in burgers, the reality is that nearly all blood is drained from the meat during the slaughter process.
