400 grams of thawed ground beef plus 133.3 grams of tallow, will eat 
about a pound of that per day, no egg. Recently with burger veg it's 
less, maybe 3/4 of the fat meat.
When it's pemmican I don't measure and it must be about 1 cup plus some 
eggs.

Is there an online source for the diet of Roman soldiers?
