Question re calories etc.
« on: April 08, 2009, 09:17:21 pm »
I was wondering if  anyone here has a rough idea of how much percentage of weight the bone has in a big leg of lamb or mutton,by comparison to the overall weight of the leg?

Also, I can easily look up fat-percentages of grainfed meats, but does anyone here have a clue as to what the usual rough percentage of total fat is in a kilo of 100% grassfed beef (muscle-)meat, say?

I asked at my slaughterhouse today when I got my suet and muscle fat; about 30% of a leg is bone. This is about what I thought when I was eating mutton.

Your other question  -[ would that not depend on the breed (Argentine beef are different breed to French...), the age, the time of year and the cut?

Sure, but I thought there might be a rough average.

Not sure of this, and have forgotten where I read it, but fat percentage in grassfed and grass finished beef muscle would be ~2%.

I can't believe it's that little. That would imply that one couldn't do zero-carb without eating grainfed meat or extremely fatty sea-animals like walruses. I thought to avoid rabbit starvation one would need a minimum 10%  of total weight as fat, with fat needing to be c.60% of calories, right?

By law, cattle are slaughtered (my area) at no more than 30 months old; it takes more time for them to get fat
This is excluding the fat outside muscles such as hide and kidney fat, and there's not much of that.
