Ground Pork entry--with grease or no?

Hi,

I do keto + IF and have changed my routine a bit; usually in the morning I eat a large serving of ground pork from a local farm. I use the ground pork entry (i.e. not raw, but cooked). I usually eat the grease as well. However, is this grease/rendered fat part of the calculated macro?

Thank you.

  • I wouldn't think so since the fat from bacon wouldn't be, my guess.

  • When they analyze calorie content of food, they dont drain any fat


    This tool directly measures the amount of energy that a food contains, said Ruth MacDonald, professor and chair of food science and human nutrition at Iowa State University. To use this tool, scientists place the food in question in a sealed container surrounded by water and heat it until the food is completely burned off. Scientists then record the rise in water temperature to determine the number of calories in the product.
