Costco / Butterball 4x1.7# pkg label says "about 27" srv / container. That's for the whole 4-pack:
: : 4 * 1.7 = 6.8 lbs
1 serving = .25 lb (i.e. 4 oz)
( 4 srv / lb ) * ( 6.8 lb ) = 27.2 srv

That's a bit awkward, innit ... each 1.7 lb pack is .05# short of 7 servings.
I crunched some numbers to refigure each serving as 1/7 of a pack;
BUT if we're redefining a "serving" anyway, we may as well make it even more tidy
and call 1/6th of a package a "serving".

1.7# package / (1.75 lb per 7 servings) = 97% of 7 servings
.97 * 7 servings * 22 p.grams per serving = 149.38 p.grams
149.38 split 6 ways = 24.89666... close enough to call it 25 p.grams per 1/6th pack.
Likewise, we figure total cal per package at .97 * 7 * 150 = 1018.5
:: 1/6th pack cal = 169.75, i.e. close enough to 170 for nutrition science.
:: p.index = [ 25 / 170 ] = .1471 (high "optimum", very nearly "super")

1st pack processing
There's no neat clean way to weigh out 1/xth of a pack at a time. The neatest / most sanitary process is:
- Empty a pack into a skillet, and cook thoroughly.
- Depending how you cook it, post-cooking weight is bound to vary; so
- - Tare a bowl, transfer cooked meat, and measure out equal net wt portions.

Post-cooking batch weight came out to 16.16 oz; /6 = 2.69 oz

CA: 2nd to last day of Faerie Forest event. The goal is to accumulate 13K event points to unlock all the incremental rewards. Mining ("North of the Elf Mine") for a 4-hour block awards 160 points. Cashing out elf mine crystals to gain pet XP also awards non-trivial 1 event pt per 25 xp.
So, hoarding Mining Sprites and pet xp crystals ahead of an event helps meet reward bars.

13K event points / 160 pt per 4-hour mining run == 81.25 mining runs.
Spread over the event's 6 days, that's 13.5 mining runs per day.
Each day you can spend 1K energy or 500 stam for one of these runs;
for the remaining 12.5 you'd have to use 10 Mining Sprites per run.
You can collect 10 Sprites for free daily;
- so you have to spend an average of 115 banked sprites daily, or 690 over the 6 days.
Each day you get 8? "autocompletes" (i.e. takes no time) during the event.
At 4 hours per run thereafter, even if you're very regimented about cycling mine collection, there's not enough hours in the day to mine enough to reach 13K event points on mining alone.

A 4-hour mining run gives 100% (16 x 25), 50% (2 x 100), and 86% (1 x 500) xp,
or an average of 37.2 event points.
With 8 auto-completes per day, plus a regular 4hr collect, that's 334.8 pts average / day,
or 2008.8 event points over the 6-day event.
That offsets 2x160pt mining runs, leaving 3.5 mine collects per event day.
Not terribly tight, but still best to stockpile crystals ahead of the event.
