B12 folks - thoughts on this meat article? Protein vs supplements?
Hey all, saw this article and thought it might interest this group since we talk about B12 sources a lot. The No. 1 Healthiest Meat With the Most Protein and Least Fat, According to a Dietitian With a growing emphasis on high-protein diets for muscle maintenance, weight management, and overall wellness... Curious what you think - especially since many of us use gummy B12 supplements. Does this change how you view dietary sources vs supplements?
As a gym rat, I'm always looking for lean protein sources! But honestly, I still rely on my B12 gummies daily. Meat is great post-workout, but I travel a lot for competitions and can't always get quality meat. My gummies are consistent - same dose every day, no cooking required. Plus they taste way better than liver lol. What meat are they even talking about? Chicken breast? Turkey?
Interesting article! I track everything with my fitness watch and nutrition app. The bioavailable B12 in meat might be better absorbed than synthetic forms in some supplements? But my smart bottle dispenses my B12 gummies automatically at 2pm every day - can't beat that consistency! Tech > grocery shopping for me. Also, has anyone tried those new gummies with added iron? Wondering if they'd pair well with high-protein meals.
Biohacker perspective: The article likely mentions lean cuts like bison or venison. But here's the thing - cooking destroys some B12 content. That's why I do both: grass-fed meat 3x/week AND methylcobalamin gummies daily. Blood tests show optimal levels this way. Also, if the article is pushing chicken, remember conventional chicken has almost no B12 compared to red meats. Gummies fill that gap perfectly.
PurePete291 makes a good point about cooking loss! I never thought about that. Maybe I'll add an extra gummy on days I have well-done steak. Frank - those auto-dispensing bottles sound cool but my gym bag would destroy it lol. Simple jar works for me. OP thanks for sharing - makes me feel better about my supplement routine knowing even meat eaters might need the boost!
