I am a HUGE chicken fan! I eat it almost everyday! My question is....is that okay? How much chicken is to much chicken?

    I don't have an answer for you but I wanted to ask you how you usually cook it. I get so sick of chicken so maybe if I learned some new ways to prepare it then I would enjoy it more.

    I normally just cook it on the stove or grill....I rarely bake it! But seasoning for me I key! I also will cut the chicken almost through and stuff it with onions peppers maybe a little cheese! So yummy!

    I don't think there is any limit for eating chicken or fish, they are the best forms of protein! But I guess 10 a day would be too much haha within moderation like everything else. I eat chicken every day as well.

    One of my favourite breakfasts is Scrambled Eggs and Chicken.

    Ingredients: 2 large eggs, 4 egg whites, 150g skinless, boneless chicken breast (Cut up and pan fried in light olive oil or baked), 2-4 tsp of CInnamon, 1/8 cup of Organic maple syrup.

    Directions: Cook and cut up chicken first, Cook and scramble eggs, add in chicken and mix up. Sprinkle on cinnamon and mix again. Serve and drizzle on maple syrup.

    *I like to add maple syrup but if you want to have lower Carbs you can use a bit of ketchup too and do without the cinnamon or other seasoning.*

    Cut the fat off, skin off, and don't fry it, and you have yourself a very healthy food with infinite possibilities!

    I eat a 460g packet a day sometimes when I'm struggling for protein (141g of protein worth)

    Even with the fat and skin and panfried it is still a healthy food.

    hi since you eat chicken so often can
    You please could help me .. It says on the package of the chicken breast that 150 grams of blondes skinless chicken breast is 150cals 3 grams of fat and 33g protein. .. that's RAW.... What would it be grilled (George foremen grill) I can't seem to find a straight answer.. Is it a big difference? Would appreciate if someone could help.. Thank you!

    It's the same after being grilled. It might lose a slight bit of fat but not enough to be concerned with.

    I like cooking a few days worth at a time (chicken) I don't like measuring it raw because of bacteria.. It's weird for 150 grams of generic grilled chicken I get alot of different calorie ranges from 110 to 180 not to sure which to use..

    i think mfp also has options of cooked chicken but just weigh it raw and even if its not 3500 cals so you would gain :smile:

    use the one from the package most accurate and if you put a plate under the chicken when you weigh it then you dont get those evil little buggers everywhere (bacteria that is)

    Haha okay thanks.. I like making 3 or 4 days at once.. It would be kind of a pain for me to measure it raw ever time.. Even with the plate I'm pretty dirty in the kitchen I would catch Ecoli for sure :)

    But it's even BETTER for you WITHOUT those things! :D
