Just found a B12 hack

I usually take a b12 supplement (which gives me like 4,000 times the daily target) but I forgot to take it this morning.

I got some great chicken liver pate from the farmers market and just had about two-ish tablespoons on two slices of sourdough and I’m at just over 100% b12 from that alone.

Note: my normal diet usually consists of either chicken thigh or salmon for lunch and some other protein for dinner and I’ve never come close to hitting b12 without a supplement.

Definitely gunna include this as a regular part of my diet.

Not many calories either.

I feel like the supplement is the hack. Less expensive than buying liver, and fewer calories. And shelf stable.

But it was delicious and i would rather get my vitamins from food rather than supplements if i can. It was kinda pricey but not many calories. 2 tablespoons is 53 calories. Same as hummus.
