I found out about this site a while back when I was trying to figure out which veggies were best for Vlad (lower potassium).
However, I've found info that tells how to use the site for figuring out percentages of bone in meats. Of course, I can't get it to work, so if someone figures out how, tell me please. . .:
To find info on other cuts of meat
1. Go to –>
http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list2. Type in your meat EX: chicken thigh raw –>
3. See the list, make selection, click- EX: first choice is “Chicken broilers or fryers, thigh, meat and skin, raw” Click on it –>
4. The new page that pulls up has all the info we’ve got on “Raw Chicken thighs w/meat & Skin”
5. ** Click on line “Full Report (All Nutrients)”, this gives you access to the amount of bone in the meat you’re looking at. In this example we see “Refuse: 15% Refuse Description: Bone and cartilage 15%” ** Average chicken thighs have about 15% bone.
