imo its pretty hard to take in more than 1gm of protein per pound of your weight... unless you pick up a smoothie with 40 grams in it...
 
For those of you who buy skinless/boneless chicken breast in the frozen section, have you ever noticed the cholesterol content in each breast?

For today.....


Breakfast: 2 bananas and a Kudos bar

Lunch: Usually leftovers from dinner from the night before... brown rice, 2 chicken kebabs (with zucchini and red peppers for the veggies)

Dinner: salad (chopped tomato, onion, cabbage, cilantro, w. a little bit of oil and lemon juice) & grilled Tilapia

Dessert: Little bit of vanilla yogurt and maple granola
Leave the bars alone. They are practically candy bars. A LOT of sugar is needed to keep the bar together. Always remember that.

It's not a bar...Cascadian Farms maple granola cereal....and I don't use much. Besides, a little bit of sugar in the granola isn't going to hurtmuch...

This and organic baby spinach are staples in my diet now.

Breakfast: oatmeal

Lunch: Sesame soy salad with vegetarian chick'n breast

Snack: Organic baby carrots

Dinner: Chicken breast with hot sauce and pepper (maybe roasted garlic salsa too

) and plain baby spinach on the side

Dessert: a couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese


This will be my diet for the next month or two.
 
Yea I try to stay away from granola as well. Granola is usually high in sugar as well. Anything clustered is filled with sugar. Really isn't a LITTLE bitof sugar either
 
i bake the chicken in my own marinade of tomato sauce, onion, green peppers, and SOME cayenne peppers...I SWEAR ITS

Split breasts ftl. Too much work with the ribcage in there.

I stick between boneless skinless breasts and skinless thighs. I know thighs aren't as good for you, but I love them, and I get rid of the skin.

You can usually get whole chickens for cheaper (around $0.60-0.75 per pound). It's the same amount of work, and they're Ideal when you want to do fullroasts (beer-can chicken, for example...I have a great recipe).

Skinless chicken breast is so damn expensive; they're always around $3.49-$3.99 a pound, and a pack of three can go to $7 bucks. I usually go to theChinese supermarkets for meats.

As for the marinades...they're pretty high in sodium and sugar. To tenderize, I always beat my meat (pause) with a heavy pan. All I need is a pinch of saltand black pepper.

Does anyone have any homemade salad dressing recipes? I just a do a basic dressing: Equal parts olive oil and lemon juice (about one tbsp. of the oil and thejuice of one lemon wedge) and fresh black pepper. Put that in a greek salad with fat-free feta and
eek.gif
.
 
When i don't have time to cook i just grab swanson chicken in a can and drain the water, i kno its got more sodium but i eat it every now and then when imon the go.

Thanks for the clarification.

So... how many of ya'll rockin' a Foreman Grill for all that chicken?

Recently went vegetarian so I miss em
eyes.gif


Used to be a staple, but the Veg thing is going well (doing it for environmental/sustainability reasons, not animal rights. Actually just caught some laketrout and barely missed a deer earlier this season... both REAL sustainably raised foods
pimp.gif
). But as far as work outs I haven't noticed much of a change, besides in thecardio/stamina department where Ive had pretty big increases. The muscle I'm puttin on from lifting I find takes more time to get bulk, but once I build itis looks leaner, I'm droppin fat like MAD, and the muscle stays longer if I miss the gym for a week (or a month... had knee surgery recently). Gettin myprotein from beans, nuts, cheeses, other dairy, and soy products, and still puttin on muscle!

I was scared how it would affect me athletically until I read the article about Tony Gonzales going vegan. I can't say no to milk and cheese, but I haventhad any issues. Get at me if anyone got questions!
 
Anybody mess with the frozen boneless skinless breasts? I live alone and hate leftovers, so I usually stick with a bag of these. Thaw them a little, andit's off to the races. Any drawbacks, besides the fact that they can be a little dry sometimes? I usually solve that one by poaching or braising.

easy joint: cop some instant brown rice, some tomato sauce, onions, green peppers n chicken breast. boil the rice, bake the breast, let thetomato sauce simmer for like 20-25 mins, cut up the onions & green peppers & put in the tomato sauce. when its ready, top the rice & breast withthe tomato sauce mix
