Quite right, thank you for correcting my sloppy language.
However 50% jerky to tallow by weight is working well for pemmican.

So I scroogled and found:
"Lean muscle, regardless of the animal, usually consists of approximately 21 percent protein, 73 percent water, 5 percent fat, and 1 percent ash (the mineral component of muscle)."
From: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/techniques/fluorescence/gallery/rawmeat.html

Then it should be 100g protein is ~500g meat, dried to ~160g jerky, plus 160g tallow (? is tallow 100% fat?) = 320g pemmican which is about what I eat/day.
That fits with the low fat headaches caused by snacking on jerky which cause the low-fat headache. Protein poisoning!

So I should be snacking with fat, the problem is and has been that the only edible-tasting fat on hand is tallow, all of which tastes from uninteresting at best to bland.

Do you know of fat that tastes like a snack? Or is it a question of getting used to blah stuff?

If you remember a source url for the 100g maximum protein/day I would appreciate it.
