DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted May 4, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holly Dolly 575 Posted May 4, 2012 I eat it with no problem. Depending on what I am making, I will use either 4% or 10% hamburger.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunshyne068 97 Posted May 4, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humming Bird 275 Posted May 4, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristen1969 17 Posted May 4, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluetigereyes 95 Posted May 4, 2012 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrd 28 Posted May 4, 2012 i have 10.1 cc in a a 14cc band, eating ground meat feels like somebody is cutting me with a knife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thamm 46 Posted May 4, 2012 I have been scared to try chicken or beef.. I have been sticking to fish. I love baked and grilled salmon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyvic 226 Posted May 5, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judych 225 Posted May 5, 2012 is ground beef typically a problem? i went to a support group yesterday and a lady there mentioned not being able to eat hamburger. just wondered if that was common or not? 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.
