vent coming ........ Going back to my personal body building days , I would like to see the protein recs according to pound by pound of lean body weight. This one size fits all stuff always sends up a red flag when I see it. ................................................... IMO almost as bad as reading the results of a study then finding out the author is trying to sell you some junk,
end vent ~

75 to 85 percent fat (by calories) to 25 to 15 percent protein. I'm certain
well made pemmican meets this requirement -- personally, I love "75%
lean" ground beef.

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.
