Sadly, that doesn’t work for me. It may be fine for the fat caps (except no, doing it EVERY TIME, nope, I quit
well if the cap looks exactly the same every time… but it doesn’t… Okay I don’t often buy beef so maybe that is more well behaving but I don’t think so…) but there are marbled and fat capped (not evenly at all) meats. I can’t possibly take it apart - and honestly, I don’t want to. I like to fry meat where most pieces have meat and fat alike as that is the best… And if I make a roast, I clearly don’t cut it up. But I eat pork. (My current beef is marbled too though…)
Maybe one can learn to guess it looking at it. Not me but some people… I still guess the fat percentage of my fat but I am aware it can be VERY off sometimes. Not when I eat it at my ideal fattiness level, I am sensitive to that but when I eat something really fatty…
Makes sense but now I wonder what your grams did… So higher protein was more grams or just a bigger percentage…?
I still would expect the same result for myself either way but I wish to keep my protein as low as possible… Now I try to change my macros and experiment with leaner days (as much protein as normal just less fat - though less fat may result in a bit less protein too).
