Might not be a secret here...

but if you like beef liver, grill some up! 1 (8oz) slice contains 78g of protein.

I figured this one out myself (thanks to recent holistic medicine courses). I have always eaten liver and crave it when my iron is way down (I'm anemic)...but NO ONE mentioned it to me in this process, no matter how much I complained about getting my protein through food sources.

Anyway, be sure to not overcook it. It gets dry and very chewy. It should still have a little pink to it. Pan fried or broiled are best in my opion.

Flavor it with anything you like or make a pate' out of it for dipping or spreading on bread.

I know most people don't like it but it may be worth a new try for the amount of protein it carries.

I'm about 6 wks post-op and am eating 1 slice a day. I have a piece of a the slice where I should be drinking protein shakes. I think the liver tastes better LOL

I started my count at my pre-op weight (plus the 10 lbs I had to lose during those initial 3 months...they count too!!

I love liver and fried onions..yummy!! I hated it when I was little..My brother and I would try and hide it under our mashed potatoes. lol Mon always saw it and made us eat at least 1/2 a slice. But, today i love it ..I don't like it as left overs but i could eat it until i got sick.. I never knew it had so much protein in it..Thinking I might make it at least 3 times a week from now on.. even it is just for me alone..Thanks for the infro...Lucky.

I wish the store packaged it in smaller portions. I am the only one in my house that will eat it. Since I am a gastric bypass there is only so much that I can eat. So smaller portions would be great. I actually love liver and onions. I miss the flavor. I haven't had it in a long time cause i'm the only one in the family that will eat it.

Met my first goal, met my second goal, met my surgeons goal. Now I have a new goal!

I wonder if chicken livers are as good for us? I can take out a certain number of chicken livers and prepare them for eating. Easier than preparing the hunters with the deer.
