Irrelevant. Meat and fat cannot make you gain fat UNLESS there's added sugars, trans fats or the meat is corn-fed.

Depends on the fat content of the beef, in part. One Tbsp would not have a significant amount of calories, regardless
.
Per the source database 1 ounce of raw 93% lean ground beef has 43 cals. The same amount of 80% lean, pan browned, is 77 cals. You'll need to weigh your Tbsp of beef.

I never measured beef by the tablespoon, but one ounce of the extra lean has about 45 calories.
