Does Anyone Know

I am trying to track my calories properly and weight them, however the problem that I am running into is that we have our meat processed fresh. Bacon, pork chops, steaks, hamburger meat, venison. So there are no nutrition facts on them? The bacon doesn't make hardly any grease and neither does the sausage. Most of any of it doesn't so I am confused, should I just pretend they are the fattier stuff and log them that way? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would just use a generic entry that is verified and not give it any more thought.

Yeah, that can be tricky, especially with ground meats. Any entry in the USDA or MFP database is probably going to be by fat% and I'm guessing you don't know that. Erring on the side of more calories sounds like a good option, as long as you are careful not to undereat.
