These meatballs are great in an Italian dish or paired with BBQ sauce and mozzarella cheese on a sandwich.

Ground beef (1241 calories): more protein, less fat
Bread crumbs (180 calories): softens meatballs, dilutes flavor
Eggs (140 calories): binds meat together
Onions (32 calories): adds flavor
Ginger (19 calories): adds flavor and texture. Contains a proteolytic enzyme that naturally breaks down protein for tenderness
Garlic (16 calories): adds flavor
Salt (0 calories): adds flavor
Pepper (0 calories): adds flavor

417 calories per 8 ounce serving
