Hey Lex I know you listed the amount in grams of food you eat but maybe you could take a picture of it next to a standard object like a deck of cards or some other way describe how much food it is?

Kyle,
Here is a picture of what I eat everyday.  It is a mixture of 2 lbs Slankers Chili Beef, 1.5 lbs Slankers Dog & Cat, and 300 grams of ground suet.  I let the chubs of beef and pet food thaw in a bowl to catch any juices.  I keep the suet frozen until just before I'm ready to mix everything as it is easier to grind when cold - not so sticky.  When the beef and pet food are thawed I weigh out the fat, slice it into chunks to fit my small Chop-Rite #5 hand grinder with 1/2" plate and grind away.  Then I mix everything together kneeding it like bread dough.  Once thoroughly mixed I divide it equally by weight into three 3 1/4 cup Glad plastic containers with lids and pop into the refrigerator until I'm ready to eat.  The whole grinding and mixing process takes 15-20 minutes and I have 3 days worth of food.

Each portion weighs between 620 and 650 grams which is an ounce or two shy of 1 1/2 lbs.  The fat is 30% by weight and the Fat/Protein ratio by calories is 80/20.  Total calories are between 2000 and 2100.

Its late afternoon and that's making me hungry believe it or not!
Mine looks similiar but less dark bits, oh and I don't use a place mat... Cheesy
I use a food processor to smash up the suet then chuck in the ground beef to mix it through. Very similiar fat protein amounts, I don't always finish mine.

The dark chunks are from the Chili Beef.  It is has rather large chunks which I like.  It gives me something to chew.  I started off using regular ground beef but the consistency was like eating thick oatmeal. I much prefer having something to chew.

I can't see the picture. You know come to think of it sometimes I can't see peoples links on this site and sometimes I can. I remember Satya having trouble seeing one of your links too, and I couldn't see that one. But sometimes I can see them. I'll have to get Craig on this.

I thought that was Tyler who couldn't see Lex's pdf. I don't know what the problem could be. Here's a link to Lex's pic: http://www.rawpaleoforum.com/general-discussion/fat-ratio-experiment/?action=dlattach;attach=108

Can you see that?

No, I haven't been able to see Lex's last 2 pics.  They don't show up for me.  And your link gives me an error, fyi.

Well that would suck if we all had to use photobucket! I wonder why this is happening. Only guests should be restricted from viewing attachments. If you're logged in, you're supposed to be able to see them.

You know, I always upload images to the server and then use an image tag on this forum.

Hi Lex,

do you notice any difference when you don't eat the dog&cat - just beef and suet, like you did on holiday? Organs could not have been a big part of paleo diet; one hart, liver...per kill for x people is my thought...

have you noticed a difference on digestion eating high fat (stools; remember what your sister noticed with feeding dogs raw meat and fat) and what about drinking -some drink very little, the more fat they eat?
