ground turkey-fat question

[suprman09]

I make ground turkey chili, and when i brown the meat I drain the fat a few times until I see nothing left at the bottom of the pot. I use 93% and was wondering how this affects the fat content. A good amount of liquid/fat comes out, and was just wondering how to calculate it to fit into my macros. Thanks.

Bump so I can find out if i can eat the other half of my avocado mixed with tuna. Its actually good. I guess I will eat some whipped 1% cottage cheese with celery.

There is good turkey and bad ground turkey. I found some 98% fat free turkey breast. Get the good stuff and don't worry about it.

I will get that next time, but i have 5 lbs of chili to eat.

There is no way to calculate it exact. Just use the fat content that is on the nutritional label even after draining unless you're a scientist that has time to test the fat content of drained ground turkey.

Are there any scientists around that could give me an estimate?
