Chicken. I like tuna too, but couldn't eat it everyday like I could chicken.

katiesmom_99

Chicken and Greek yogurt. I have one or the other pretty much every day.

sardelsa

Chicken mostly. Also protein powder.

k8eekins

Beef, lamb, chicken and eggs.

ETA and turkey.

Lolalikeslolagets

Chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, egg whites, sirloin, salmon, whey powder, tofu, um... I’m hungry

Lolalikeslolagets

Ground turkey, lamb, peameal, pork loin, shrimp, and Greek yogurt. That’s about it I think

Chieflrg

I eat chicken and whey on the daily.

rheddmobile

Cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, tuna, eggs, salmon, chicken thighs, pork loin. Pork loin is one that I rarely see fitness buffs mention, but it’s very lean and low calorie and easy to prep a whole one for a week.

- greek yogurt
- chicken, pork, beef, sausage

- Special K Protein is surprisingly good (both taste and protein content) if I'm wanting cereal

Wondering how the daily chicken eaters cook their chicken? I'd like to eat chicken daily but can't imagine cooking it often enough to do that. Maybe you're eating (pre-cooked) chicken lunch meat or something like that?

mom23mangos

Seafood and dairy/eggs

slbbw

seitan, yogurt and egg whites

We get bags of Frozen chicken breasts from Meijer, defrost enough for required portions the night before, and 9/10 will bake it in our toaster oven. 28-30 minutes at 425F works pretty well. We change of the seasoning day-to-day and will do stir fry veggies/rice, just a vegetable as a side, or chop up and put in a salad. I wouldn't necessarily say we're daily chicken people, we'll mix it up with pork, beef tacos, steak, breakfast-for-dinner, or grill-fare this time of year. Were I single, I'd batch cook dinners for the week each weekend; might be something to try?

I prep several chicken breasts on the smoker on Sunday. Then use them throughout the week.

I buy chicken breast in bulk, bake it in the oven, cut it up/portion it then freeze it.

Tuna here

I love tuna, but I'll just put a small warning here just in case. There was a study done recently that essentially found that a lot of college aged people are eating an obscene amount of tuna as it's nutritious, easy, and the least expensive way to access fish. I believe the study said that 7% of the people polled were having it multiple times a week, and some up to 20... Which legitimately doesn't make sense to me, that's basically tuna for every meal, but I digress. The problem with this is tuna often has very high murcury levels, and that degree of consumption is getting to be poisonous.

Basically try to limit tuna to maybe a couple times a week.


To answer the question for me, eggwhites are super versatile, cottage cheese can be used to make a ton of stuff creamy, poultry is great and tuna of course. I'll make and freeze seitan every so often as well. And my protein powder supplier basically makes it a no brained; it is so much cheaper, not to mention easy to access. Sometimes you just want really efficient protein so you can have more fun stuff.

flowerhorsey

Chicken, beef, fage yogurt, protein drink, tuna, seafood, bone broth

mike_bold

lemurcat2

That’s how I feel about my protein powder. I mean, 24g for 90 calories? Leaves a lot of room in my diet for some fun stuff.

where are you getting yours from??? Mine is 24 for 127 and I thought that was great. Though I imagine mine is quite inexpensive comparatively.

seltzermint555

eggs, beans, chickpeas, lentils, dairy products & nut butters are the main ones.

beef and chicken - consume way less often but I do eat those on occasion.
