    I can still easily eat ground beef, but I choose not to because it's typically so high in fat. When I am cooking a recipe that calls for ground beef I use 93% fat free ground turkey instead.

    I eat it with no problem. Depending on what I am making, I will use either 4% or 10% hamburger..

I can eat a burger, but I've only got 3.75 cc in my band. I think it varies based on your band adjustments

There isn't much I can't eat. I do have a problem with snow peas, even if I destring them. And I avoid most steaks except for filet mignon at home.

Ground beef is pretty much the only type of beef I can eat. It has to be in chili, soup, taco salad and other ways like that. I can not just eat a hamburger patty.

I can eat it fine...but easier ground up vs a hamburger. But, I think the reason there is it is easier to take a small bite with a fork, versus a bite!

I can eat Ground beef/Ground Turkey with no problems. I cannot eat chicken though. Every time I eat chicken, by the 2nd bite, I am miserable and end up throwing it up. I stick to ground turkey since its much lower in fat and calories and in general healthier for you (Plus, at the stores around me, its actually quite a bit cheaper than the lean ground beef)

i have 10.1 cc in a a 14cc band, eating ground meat feels like somebody is cutting me with a knife

I have been scared to try chicken or beef.. I have been sticking to fish. I love baked and grilled salmon.

I do eat ground beef, but I also get it at a local meat cutting shop, so it's almost gristle free, very high end beef....got it for 2.20 per pound. I was able to pan cook and grill it. Just chew really well and small bites, I even cook it a little pinker.

well, my experience was .... my first solid protein was fish... not successful at all. then i tried beef burgers, thin and no herbs or onions etc. it was beautiful. no problems at all with it.... so it was successful with me. the fish is more of a problem. perhaps im not cooking it right?? i did poach it but it was very dry i thought.. and yuk. anyway the burgers were great, but as i said, they were just plain beef, nothing added at all.

I eat ground beef frequently. Burgers can be more of a problem as they are dry. Fish can also be dry so no I don't think it is the way you are cooking it.
