I used to know once upon a time how many grams of Alnutrin with calcium was for 4 lbs of boneless meat and 1 lb of organs (5lbs total).

How do I figure it out? I thought it was 40g. Is that right?

Also, would it be the same amount for just the regular Alnutrin for a whole carcass grind?

20% organs sounds like a lot (unless you mean hearts and gizzards, which are classified at muscle meat, not organ).

Does the bag of Alnutrin have instructions on the label?

I emailed them a few days ago to make sure I could use Alnutrin with cooked food and this is the response I got. i wasn't sure about the amount of liver to add so they confirmed that for me too.

Thanks for posting their reply-might take a re-look at Alnutrin if 1.5 oz liver/1 lb meat before cooking is ok.The kitchen scale I have only goes in oz not percents of ounces.

Ideally you would want 5% liver. If your scale doesn't measure fractions, I'd go with 1 oz liver/16 oz boneless. That gives you (1/17) 5.88% liver. Since your scale is rounding numbers, it sounds like anything between .5 and 1.4 is going to read as "1".
