Ratios
Organ 25% - [226g/8oz + 114g/4oz + 31g/1oz + 114g/4oz + 114g/4oz = 599g/21oz - 114/599= 19% (need better weight estimates)
~4 cups total food - 1 cup veg makes 25% of meal
Info
- [Poultry, mechanically deboned, from backs and necks with skin, raw] - closest to whole chicken neck ingredient i could find, not deboned
- 1 cup broccoli = 71g
- 1 cup spinach = 30g
- 1 can sardines 4.375oz = 124g
1 cup chicken meat = 140g = 5oz https://www.traditionaloven.com/foods/exchange/cup-chopped-or-diced/g-gram/chicken-breast-meat-cook-roast.html
1 pound of broccoli equals 6.4 ( ~ 6 1/3) US cups. (*)
Approximate percentage of bone (from the USDA nutrient database):
CHICKEN
- Whole chicken: 25%
- Leg quarter: 30% (Main part of diet)
- Split breast: 20%
- Thigh: 15% (Main part of diet)
- Drumstick: 30%
- Wing: 45% (I don’t feed wings, not enough meat)
- Neck: 36%
- Back: 45% (would go with boneless beef in the same day)
- Feet: 60% (chicken feet are good for dogs joints, give a few at a time)
