Does anyone know how recovering from major surgery affects the body’s needs for calories?

I am recovering from major surgery and was told not to try to lose weight for 3 months while I am healing. I am NOT dieting, but am NOT eating as much as I had been, because I am eating healthier food. I am unable to weigh myself, so can’t tell if I am losing weight. I am certainly less active than before the surgery, but does the body require more calories to heal?

Attention LARGE BREED DOG BREEDERS (food question)?

I am getting a Great Dane puppy and an American Bulldog pup later this year. I know to feed a food with multiple proteins (meat/poultry/fish/eggs) and no straight lamb/rice diets, a moderate protein and fat level and of course moderate calories. I will only feed my dogs a food that is naturally preserved and human grade.

I have heard that I need to give them NuVet Plus (canine) tablets for the rest of their life, is this true? If so, where do I get them?

So basically, what brands of dog food is going to be the best for my babies? I, as everyone else in the economy these days, am on a budget. I feed my Pointer (53 pounds) Merrick dog food and it’s fantastic for him! He is turning 4 years in April, is there a food for all life stages that would be appropriate for all 3 dogs? I have also heard that Drs. Foster and Smith’s dog and cat food are very good foods, is this true? (I have used their website for all my medications, bowls, beds, collars, Heat Guard etc, and LOVE them!) Thank you for your help!

Is glass better for packaging food in than plastic?

I heard once that soda kept in bottles of glass has less calories or is supposed to be “healthier” for you.

Also does it preserve it better?
I also heard that when things are packaged in metal or plastic then the metal iron can leak into the drink or food it contains, same with the plastic.

Is this true?
Why?
If it is better than why doesn’t the government find a way to use it to package all food safely, if not what would be a good alternate resource to package our food in?
