I'm hoping I can keep my newb-ish questions confined to one thread :-)
Today's question: calculating ratios of lean v fat.
I have 2925g of "lean" cut up (store bought) pork butt. The fatty pile in the "fat" bowl came to 465g.
In order to bring this meat up to a 70/30 ratio, I need how much additional fat.
Is it:
A) 810 additional grams? (465+810=1275. 2925+1275=4200. 1275/4200=30.3%)
B) 412.5 additional grams? (2925*.3=877.5. 877.5-465=412.5)
C) Some other number that I can't seem to figure out lol.
More questions to follow I'm sure. :-)
Thanks
Brandon
