The Numbers Up Front
Total Cooked Yield: ~38 oz / 1080 g shredded beef (from a 3¾ lb trimmed chuck)
That's: six 6 oz portions, or nine 4 oz bowl builds
Default Portion: 6 oz / 170 g plated • 4 oz / 113 g in bowls
✂️ Trim Trim Trim
Chuck is flavor country, but it hides fat everywhere. Trim every visible seam before it hits the cooker, then skim the braising liquid before re-saucing. The two-step defat saves ~115 calories and 23g of fat per 6 oz portion vs. an untrimmed, unskimmed roast. Knife + ladle = the two cheapest fat-loss tools you own.
