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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
