You will probably end up paying less than you would buying cheap cuts of feedlot beef from the local store. Sorry, I can't help you with a source.)

Not real happy with adding a few carbs lately in the form of potatoes and rice. Going to go almost completely ketogenic for a while. Threw a photo on here for accountability. I weighed in at 231# the other day. The few carbs I am getting are not agreeing with me. I don't need to gain any weight, and I can do it very easily if I don't watch it.

I also read some research last night about how a group of very low-carb eaters lowered their blood triglycerides by 30% over a low-fat test group. Part of the reason is that the fat eaters' bodies learned to use fat for a fuel source rather than carbs. The fatty acids in the bloodstream were being consumed as a fuel source and not doing nasty things like raising blood pressure and clogging arteries. The low-carb group were using the carbs as fuel, and thus the fat was free to continue to exist in the bloodstream, raise blood pressure and all that fun stuff. 

So, this photo is me at my flabbiest for right now.
