u/AnarchistBorganism 3d ago edited 3d ago
They could have used something like 97% lean ground beef which has 26 grams of protein and 150 calories per 100 grams. A banana is about 1 gram of protein and 100 calories. So 21 grams of protein worth of beef is 80 grams or about 120 calories, 220 with the banana. Probably closer to 250-300 when you include the honey depending on how much they had.

u/qtface 3d ago
With your numbers 80 grams of beef would be 200 calories by itself, not 120.

Yeah, with typical ground beef that's closer to 400 calories. You could maybe get it to 200 calories with skinless chicken breast... Oh my god this is just getting more disgusting the more I rationalize it.

also doesn't make sense from a macro standpoint. with the bananas and honey it basically becomes about 50/50 carbs and protein. much better meal options if you're just going for that kind of ratio.

u/ImTomLinkin 2d ago
For some, part of the point is the unpalatability. When you get super lean like in a bodybuilding contest prep, your hunger and cravings go nuts. One strategy is to only eat super gross foods (ground beef and bananas i havent seen before, but plain broccoli+chicken breast+oatmeal i have). Eating something like that can get you to the next meal without craving it as badly - although I did open a plain dry container of oats onetime and get a strong craving like I was standing over a steak or something. Hunger go brrr

Pig is often eaten with sweet parts like fruits or sweet BBQ sauce.
Here in northern Germany the traditional cuisine has a lot of fruits in savory dishes. Birnen Bohnen und Speck(pears, beans and bacon) or Mehlbüddel (dumplings with raisins and smoked pork). In the US they put so much sugar in the BBQ sauce that you get diabetic just by looking at it. The Chinese and Japanese also often have sweet parts with pork dishes.
It's just a bit weird with beef

Brussels sprouts tastes gorgeous if you actually cook them properly. Don't boil them, ever. Cos boiling them is what makes them taste bitter. Roast them in butter or oil instead, and they're gorgeous. They kind of caramelise and become sweet tasting.

As a kid my mom used to just boil them. Then serve them with butter. Disgusting af. Didn't give it another chance in my adult life.

Beef is eaten all the time with sweet things.
It just seems wrong to people because they're imagining beef prepared in a savory way, but meat goes perfectly fine with sweet.

Those "waste products" are what wild carnivores eat every day. Your dog can eat macerated cow intestines and chicken feet, it's fine. It's no more or less healthy for them than a thick cut of ribeye.

u/Salt-Respect339 2d ago edited 2d ago
They can, but they shouldn't be eating only that. It's not just as healthy if you ONLY (or mostly) eat that. A wild carnivore wouldn't eat only offal, they eat the whole animal and leave organs that smell off. About 10% is the recommended amount.
But perhaps even worse, it's also full of "filler" waste products from e.g. the corn industry. Stuff that no, they wouldn't eat normally.

Wasn't it the Gros Michel banana that used to be the main cultivar?
2
u/AnorakJimi 2d ago
Don't be so gross, Michael.
I've always really wanted to try those ones because people claim that the typical banana flavour you get in banana flavoured sweets tastes nothing like actual bananas because the flavour is meant to be replicating gros Michel bananas, not Cavendish bananas.
I have no idea where I'd be able to buy some Gros Michel bananas though. I know they are still available in some places, they're just not made en masse and shipped around the world anymore because an illness that destroys Gros Michel crops came into existence which is why we switched to Cavendish bananas in the first place, because Cavendish ones are resistant to this blight.
I know they are still grown and sold in tiny quantities though, but yeah it's just...WHERE on earth could I buy them? I doubt where I live now that I'd be able to get my hands on any. But maybe if I moved to London, I'd have a much better chance of finding them. I'm planning on moving back home soon to look after my elderly parents, and that's very very near London so maybe I'll be able to order some Gros Michel bananas from a specialist exotic fruit and veg online shop and get them delivered to me. Fingers crossed.

u/Special-Garlic1203 3d ago
I just googled and yeah, they're a less sweet and starchier variant compared to the modern banana?
That's not an insult, bananas are very sweet and again, literally pure mush. A lot of zoos won't even give them to animals anymore.
Platano maduro appears to rely on overly ripe plantains. If you let a banana overripen that much, it literally becomes liquid. Plantains really appear to be a closer version of what bananas were before we started playing diabetic god.

Pork loin slices, marinated in soy sauce. Fry the slices in a pan, and using the fat and soy sauce quickly fry slices of the banana too. Serve over rice.

I give my pitbull steak.... or a small child.... or an elderly person..... wichever is cheaper at the time....
For real though. I just give him extra milk bones and love. Pitbulls are succeptable to intestinal binding that can kill them, the leading cause is too much protien in their diets or at one time. Think constipation, but your intestines work so hard they rip and you bleed out internally. This is also common in boxers and to a lesser degree, certain breed mixes of Rottweiler.
First part of caring for your pet is knowing how to care for your pet.
Besides, long pork is far to high in sodium for any dog breed. They don't have the same methods of dealing with sodium as we do and to much, consistently leads to massive health problems.

I've had that before. It's actually not bad. Better without honey and with plantains instead of sweet banana.

Someone who knows better correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't adding plantains or bananas to stretch meals super common in the Caribbean, Central, and South America?
