A typical serving (1 patty, 83 g) has about 193 calories, and 100 g has 232 kcal. Calories scale with weight, so double the portion means double the number.
There are 24.6 g of protein in 100 g of ground beef, which works out to about 20.4 g per serving (1 patty). That is a genuinely high protein share for the calories.
