Values for sausage vary by brand and how it is cooked. Check the pack. General information, not medical advice.

This is a cooked pork and beef sausage

The row is for a cooked pork and beef sausage. Beef-only, chicken, lamb and vegetarian sausages differ, and so does the butcher, so check a pack label where there is one.

Sausages differ most in size

A thin breakfast sausage and a thick barbecue snag are far apart in weight. Weigh the cooked sausage, or weigh the pack and divide by the number in it.

Fat and salt

More than a third of the weight is fat in this entry and the sodium figure is high. If you keep an eye on either, sausages are a food worth logging each time.

Questions

How many calories are in one sausage?

It depends on the size. At 60 g, a thick cooked sausage is roughly 238 kcal. Weigh yours for a closer answer.

Are chicken sausages lower in calories?

Often, but not always. Read the pack label for the one you buy; this table is for pork and beef.

Where do the sausage numbers come from?

From the USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy table (April 2018), per 100 g, the same table the Daily Journal food planner uses. Packs and brands differ, so use the label where there is one.
