<p>Recently I've been finding this product in a supermarket. Does this mean 70/30 protein/fat? I tried to look this up online, no success.</p>

<p>"Does this mean 70/30 protein/fat?"</p> <p>Yes.</p> <p>It's likely that they are rewording the protein/fat ratio since 70/30 is pretty shitty ground meat, especially if it's CAFO meat, where you'd want to avoid CAFO animal fat if possible to maintain a better Omega-3:6 ratio.</p> <p>If you cook, I find 85/15 to 90/10 ideal for most general uses. Still, try to avoid the CAFO stuff if you can.</p>

<p>Yes it's fat percentage by weight, and although there are trace carbs from glycogen in meat, the other 70% by weight is protein. BUT ... that protein part is high water content. So 100g of &lt;30% fat contains roughly 30g fat, 70g lean but not 70g protein.</p>
