Also, I just made a big batch of homemade sausage patties ~ yum! I tripled the recipe to freeze some. You can use any ground meat you want:
NT Favorite Sausage Patty
2 pounds ground meat
1 tablespoon coarse salt (or 2 tsp. salt)
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
2/3 teaspoon rubbed summer savory
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground marjoram
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried parsley and 1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)
(Optional olive or coconut oil for lean meats - approx. 1-2 tsp. per lb. of meat)
Mix well, and form into 20 patties. For lean meat, start with a low flame, then finish over medium-high heat to brown, or broil on middle oven rack.
This sounds awesome - thank you! I'll try this later this week.0 -

PB2 is processed food! haha0

My Personal Trainer has suggested this because I'm an 'endomorph' - so 50% protein is what I'm going to try and it's bloody hard.
Not eating processed because I'm basically a wannabe hippie....trying to keep it natural, plus I have pretty bad stomach issues, so keeping away from all the 'extra' stuff that I don't really know what it is, means I know exactly what is going it..
But then someone dangles a bit of processed yumminess in front of my and all my 'hippie' values go straight out the door...I love food.

Ohhhhh. I live in the UK, so PB in any more isn't that popular.

you can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, chicken-kabobs, chicken creole, chicken gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple chicken, lemon chicken, coconut chicken, pepper chicken, chicken soup, chicken stew, chicken salad, chicken and potatoes, chicken burger, chicken sandwich. That- that's about it.0 -

Don't get me wrong, I love chicken in many different forms....but I also crave variety (it is the spice of life); so I'd need to mix up some other meats in there too (turkey, lean steaks etc)0 -

Your trainer may be an amazing person who's really good at getting you to your goals in the gym, but concepts like 'endomorph' are largely considered outdated at best, 'broscience' at worst. Trainers are not necessarily well-versed in nutrition.0 -
an 8oz chicken breast has 51g of protein per the USDA database.
4 egg whites contain 14g of protein
4 whole eggs contain 25g of protein
1 cup of beans (red kidney) has 14g of protein0 -
OP, did your trainer even think to ask if you have a history of kidney problems?0
