Two errors in this. First, the 22 oz is before cooking weight. After cooking will be less - maybe 16 oz raw (after you deduct bone and fat) and 12 oz after cooking. The remaining lean meat isn't pure protein. There's other tissues. nutritiondata.self.com lists only about 76.7 calories per oz, or about 920 calories for the whole thing.

Why are you discounting fat? You don't lose that when cooking the steak. You've forgotton to add anything for the butter they add. I don't think the bone weighs six ounces - but I admit I have little idea what a fucking ounce is.

Google tells me there are 291 calories in a cooked ribeye steak. That's over 1,000 for a 16 ounce steak.

You are severely underestimating the calorie content.
