Check out all this fat

ChuckgM3

This is how much visible fat you can cut off of 2.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts.



Ahhh, that's better...

Does anyone else do this? Or am I just OCD?

ckmama

I do, only cause it grosses me out to sit down to eat and have fat on my meat.

I do it too! I CANT stand to have the fat on there!!! YUCK!!!

kianaik

I buy the hand trimmed 99% fat free kind.....and then trim again myself before using. Can't stand to have any on it at all.

garedds

i do! I can't handle the fat on them. I also buy the ones that are trimmed already.

rshunk

Yup, I also do that. Chicken, beef, pork... if I can see the fat, it's getting cut off!

chardero

But...but...that's where all the flavor is!

Or so I've been told. lol

I usually trim/cut off any fat on any meat I get.

Manda1987

I do it too. I don't like any skin or fat on my meat.

eillamarie

I do it. But not to that extent. I don't add any oil when I cook it so I need a little bit of fat on the chicken otherwise it sticks.

I usually do a really good trim for all my meat, although it's more because I *hate* the texture of fat--chewy, slimy, and oily. No thanks...

fats where all the flavour lives

I trim it all off like that too. I get a package of about 8 total, then I cut off all the fat and repackage them 2 to a bag which is what I need per meal for me and my fiance.

I disagree with the flavor being in the fat. I think fat tastes disgusting which is why I cut it all off before I started losing weight. The chicken itself tastes pretty darn good without all that slimy chewy mess on it. :flowerforyou:

I don't understand the saying "the fat is where all the flavor is." Have you ever bit into a wad of fat... it tastes nasty.:-P I'm all for trimming off the fat on my food. If I get it in my mouth, I spit it out... gross!

I think this is true for chicken... However, if you've ever had a rib-eye steak (marbleized), or toro sushi (fatty tuna), you would definitely understand that statement... I know I do.
