Why beef? And why cubes? I like beef. chicken is okay. Lamb is my favorite. Seafood (salmon, tuna) is something I have to push myself to eat. Which provides the most Protein with the fewest calories?

Variety sounds like a better bet. Have you tried mixing beef with lentils, onions, and a healthy grain like quinoa? Make a meal instead of just meat.

Congratulations on being so active. I have a three-wheeled trike, but I have to be under 200lbs before I can use it. Not there yet. I don't feel comfortable swimming in a public pool with men sharing the same facility. I would like to try lifting some weights, but I'm afraid of overdoing it and injuring myself.

I also have a chronic ankle injury that prevents me from weight-bearing exercise on that ankle. My stationary bike is boring.

Do you have someone helping you plan your exercise program?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
