Just looking at grilled chicken breast per oz on MFP:

37 calories

7 g Protein

1 g fat

Any foods that can beat that? No wonder bodybuilders live off this stuff.

It is a staple in my diet, the secret is spicing it up. Play around with all the stuff @@Dub posts. There are some great rubs which help lock in moisture and flavor. Or if you just want to be simple put powdered hidden valley ranch on it. Tastes really good.

often on the weekends I put a bunch in the crock pot and then divide it into servings for the week. Each day I can add spices or different cheese depending on what kind of food I want to eat (like italian one day, mexican another day, greek.... etc)

or other times I marinate in lime olive oil and cilantro and grill. that's pretty good right there.

I'm too early post-op to care too much about flavor but these are great suggestions @@Christinamo7 @@OKCPirate

Ugh except the ranch! I don't think I've ever had hidden valley anything in my life, for some reason it totally turns me off.

I'm partial to creole seasoning myself.

I've actually been buying it pre-cooked and cut from the local organic grocery delivery service. The laziest. 6 oz in a container and I just pull a third of the container out for work lunch each day.

Grilled chicken breast ????

Oh yeah.....I'm a fan. Great & tasty source of Protein for a sleever. Sliced, diced or shredded with rubs and/or sauces. All good.

Take a cup of Kosher salt and add Water to a bowl. Let the breast rest in the brine for an hour before drying and cooking. Locks in the moisture. Tastes awesome.

**edit- doesn't actually lock moisture in, it draws moisture in and make it juicier.

Mmmmmmm keep em coming. I can't eat chicken breast right now but I can't wait. These are all good tips.

chicken marinated in Greek seasoning, grilled with some grilled veggies!! I am still in the soft food stage so my veggies are REALLY mushy. It's kind of like a deconstructed chicken kabab!! And I add a little hummus when I eat it!

@@higher Try marinating chicken in coke zero, salt, pepper, olive oil and loads of garlic. Yum! Best grilled after at least 24hrs marinating.

And I can't deny the power of Pinterest!!

My nut says most meats have roughly 7g protein/ ounce but some cuts of beef have more. I never ate much beef before surgery so I stick with a lot of chicken and fish.
