Beef and pork
VSG on 06/05/12
I admit it. I eat them. I watch what cuts of beef and pork I eat though and don't eat them every day.
The reason you don't hear as much is because (according to www.myfitnesspal.com) three ounces of grilled sirloin or pork chop has about 200 calories and three ounces of grilled chicken has about 100 calories. The protein is about the same in both.
So, I don't make a habit of eating steak all the time, but if it sounds good to me and can fit it into my calories for that day, I do have some. That's fine in my doctor's plan. But I'm guessing other plans will limit it until further out or even till after goal.

In my program they are off limits until maintenance. They are not considered lean meats and tend to have mor calories per ounce than Chicken, Fish, Turkey, etc.
That said, if you are cooking yourself you can but VERY lean cuts of both meats. It can be risky in a restaurant - since you don't know what quality of meat they are serving.
I have avoided them during losing - I could fiend on both of them.
