One serving of 85/15 ground beef has 68 grams of fat. Your numbers are way off. Just be honest ok? You’ve put a dint in your credibility.

These were easy and delicious, however they have to be WAY off on the calorie content. There is no way there are only 94 calories in 6 meatballs. I will definitely make again but I wish they would list the correct calories.
