it's hard to top chicken breast on protein grams/per calorie right?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
