Figures are per 100g cooked (lean leg roast, roasted, no added fat). Protein content varies by brand, cut and exact preparation — see the note below. Calories are worked out from the source's energy in kilojoules. AFCD uses different conversion factors from those required on food labels (Food Standards Code Standard 1.2.8), so they may differ slightly from the pack.
