Sorry, my mistake. You posted first thing that you were trying to change
your diet for fatty liver. Then you said you got some marked down beef and
green beans, which implies you just bought them for this diet, not had them
and were trying to use them up. Lastly, despite being €œlow calorie€� by
virtue of not eating a lot, it still wasnt the healthiest meal for fatty
liver.
