SO SICK OF CHICKEN!

Options
Ugh, I can't even look at chicken anymore. Its been a staple in my diet because of the no carb, high protein content, and low fat and helped me lose my initial 40 lbs, but i just can't eat it anymore. I have tried every flavor combination and cooking style over the past year and I just ugh.

But the protein content is SO HIGH its great! One chicken breast can have like 40g! I wish I could get that from any other food...

Anyone have any ideas what else I could eat that could get me that much protein in one sitting?

I love beef, but the fat content is too high to eat every day @_@

    i know its not all the same protein content, but i rotate meats every night for dinner - chicken, beef, pork, turkey, fish/shrimp. and a meatless night.
    i get the leanest meat i can and just make whatever im craving.. tacos, meatloaves, buffalo chicken mac n cheese. *shrug* of course im not into 100% clean eating either. i eat what i like

    Most meats will have similar protein content. If you cut trim the fat from port and beef before you cook it you can get good ratios from your macros. There are plenty of ways to prepare these meats without the fat that are still delicious! I like to brown meats, then simmer in stock with seasonings until the pieces can be shredded. By mixing up the meat and seasoning you can make an infinite number of dishes.

    They do have carbs but I've had good luck eating beans and lentils in place of chicken.

    Nothing wrong with fat - except for the calorie denseness, maybe. Lots of lean beef options, turkey, shrimp is amazingly low in calories/fat, but high in protein. Tuna, fresh fish. Its important to have variety in your diet, or else you will fall off the wagon!

    A normal diet that is within your calorie goals and gives you enough protein through meat, dairy, fish, eggs, egg substitute and protein powder.

    But seriously now . . .

    Fish, shrimp/shellfish, eggs, beans/legumes, quinoa, lentils, greek yogurt, nuts, (you've already heard pork/lean beef/turkey)

    You CAN get and stay out of your protein rut! Good luck on your journey.
