The bone and fat help flavor your roast, but trim off some of that fat to get rid of a portion of that artery-clogging saturated fat. For some variation, choose leaner cuts of beef for around 40 calories per ounce. This will average 120 to 160 calories for a 3 to 4 ounce portion, shaving off about 105 to 140 calories per person.
