How Lean are we thinking this is? How many calories for the pound?
I have this venison and was wondering if anyone can help me ballpark how lean this is? All I know is that it is about 10-15% beef and the rest is venison.

So venison is 34 Cals/oz raw, per the usda. Ground beef, raw is 72/oz raw, also per the usda. You’ve got 16 oz of meat, let’s split the difference between 10 and 15 percent beef at say 12.5 percent is beef. So, you’ve got 16*.125=2 ounces of beef and 16*.875=14 ounces venison in your pound. Calories would be 2*72 + 14*34 =620 calories for the pound, my best guess.
