Age plus BMI equals nearly 100?

Careful, there, Mert, that was 60 grams of protein, not 60 ounces of meat. I had to read back through the thread to be sure of what was said... LOL, that would be a lot of meat in one day. There are 6-7 grams of Protein in an ounce of meat, so you would be looking at 9-10 ounces of meat, but you can get protein from other things, too, like cottage cheese, eggs, milk. A grande latte at Starbucks has 20 grams of protein... ;-) I can just see the size of your eyes, looking at 60 ounces of meat... LOL

Thanks for the clarification. I've never considered food in terms of ounces and grams. Went to a diet meeting last nite and learned that 60g/day looks like a portion the size of my palm at Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have a lot to learn between now and 8/11.

Happy to help, Mert. I was LOL at the idea of you actually trying to eat that much meat. You could never do it with full restriction. It reminded me of the story of the lady at the WW meeting saying she could never drink the 68 glasses of Water they suggested she needed... LOL

Wow, you are so close to B-day, I bet you are excited!!! Good luck...

Thanks to everyone whose BMI plus age equals 100. I am sure this is the surgery for me. With my new sleep ap machine and new band I am going to restore my health...an answer to my prayers.
