Maybe this will help. What they sell here as a "half loin roast" weighs
between 4 and 6 pounds, has no bone, and is mostly white meat with a very
small amount of fat running through and a pretty thick pad of it on one
side. The first third or so has what I call the dark meat, it is literally
red instead of pink like the rest, and much more flavorful.

The roast I buy is #413 at the site below, perhaps "half" of it:

You can see the dark meat and light meat.
