I'm in LOVE!!!

So I was offered a buffalo burger for dinner today 4.6 oz from trader joes  43 grams of freakin protein!!!

Apparently they are expensive and you only get 4 in the package, but  that's over half of the protein i need in a day. I'm so excited. Especially on days that I'm not really that interested in eating.

Now, before you get all nervous it took me 2 sessions to eat it, but I did and now I'm over my protein goal for today.

They sell Ground Buffalo at BJ's and Sams Club.  Just to let you know, your body can't absorb more than 35 grams at one time.

I have heard this before but when I have asked the nuts at barix, my family doc, etc... no one can give me any idea where that has come from... do you know where you got that info from... because my family doc said that isn't true... and he has lots of gastric bypass patients... I just don't wanna waste protein hehehe when eating lol...

This info came from a support meeting, Shauna was the group leader.  Also, you can do a web search. The theory is that protein is used by lean muscle mass.  If you don't have a lot of lean muscle mass, the excess protein will turn to fat.

sounds fabulous will have to try that out

I have also seen the meat at my local Giant store... more and more grocery stores are carrying it...

I have had buffalo before and it is really good.  I knew it had less fat than beef, but did not know about the higher protein.  I've never made it myself before, but sounds like it will be worth it.  I'll have to buy it!

Heck yeah, I was over the moon yesterday when i found out.

So Angela.. how are you feeling? I hope you are better.  You're still posting, so at least you're somewhat ok.  

I'm doing better. I've been taking everyone's advice on supplements and things so at least one issue is cleared up ( for the time being anyway)  I haven't gone to the doctor yet for the heartburn, that's for the 10th so we'll see.

Thanks,
