From 13 of 13 ingredient lines (100% of the measured weight), divided into 6 servings (estimated: 1100 g protein foods at ~170 g per serving; model check 6 agrees). Typical amounts assumed for ham bone, because the video doesn’t say how much. Not counted because the video gives no amount: fresh herbs.
