    I've added Chicken breast into my meal plan daily and noticing it's helping keep me fuller longer along with upping other protein sources. So curious those who eat chicken as a prime daily protein source, how many grams do you typically consume? Is 150-200g/day quite a bit? That's currently what I'm aiming for.

    Thanks

    I'd say the average chicken breast is around 8 ounces...so at 200g you would be eating less than one whole average chicken breast...

    Depends where you live and what chicken you're buying. I rarely get a breast of 200g, usually smaller, as small as 130g. I guess our chickens in the UK don't bench as much........

    I've seen individual breasts that weight as much a 500g each. I don't know wtf they are feeding those chickens, but I need to get my hands on it for squats. Might actually get my legs to bump up a notch.

    Pretty sure it's antibiotics and breeding.

    Yeah in Canada it's probably around that. I keep it simple. Just unpack the entire pack of breaststroke into a dish and bake in oven with some no salt seasoning. Have no problem just munching on those.

    One chicken breast here weighs about 250g so I split it into two serves. I would usually only eat 100 -120g per serve, twice a week.
