Too much chicken?

[canadianbeefeater]

Hey guys - this may sound like a foolish question but I am wondering what negatives there are, if any, to eating too much chicken? Because I cannot eat tuna or salmon and by choice dont eat red meat I consume chicken at least 3 times a day(total of 5+ breasts per day). The chicken is good quality lean chicken which I bake or BBQ with no marinade - but am wondering if there is a downside to eating all this poultry? And if so - do you fella's have any suggestions for me to switch things up?

Edit: Yes I know my username now officially makes no sense - long story..haha

well if you just eat chicken i think that will be wrong, you need the amino acids that you gets from the different type of food...

Please correct me if im wrong...

Lol..maybe I should have clarified further. My diet consists of alot more then just Chicken - I eat 5-6 meals per day(try to make it 6 everyday, sometimes I fail). Oatmeal and fruit in the early morning - 2 protein shakes per day - 5 egg whites per day - greens with lunch - more fruit later in the day. Depending on the day other things find there way in there too - but my concern is the amount of chicken firstly, and second the fact that I basically consume no meat or fish.

Do you eat Pork? What about turkey?

I don't eat pork, and I don't eat any seafood (except on occassion some tuna), I also only eat red meat maybe once a month.. I eat chicken all the time, and sometimes turkey. I've eaten like this for 4 years or more, I'm sure our diet goals are different, but I haven't had any problems.

Yes I do eat turkey - and I wish I could eat more to be honest. For whatever reason it is a real bugger to get good lean turkey breast in my area alot of the time - which sucks. Pork - ever since I saw a TV special about pork tape worms I try and stay away from that too - but that just me being paranoid I suppose!

You did read I don't eat pork right?! There's a reason for it.. so maybe I'm paranoid too. lol.

What about buying a whole turkey and cooking it, after it's cooked you can freeze it into portions then you'll have turkey when you want it..

Maybe were're both paranoid - or both smart - either way I will continue to leave the pork alone..lol But I like that turkey idea alot, mt local grocery store always carries whole birds and though it would take a bit more effort it would be worth it mix the diet up abit. Thanks for the idea my friend

No problem, I know it's a lot more effort, but throw it in the oven on a weekend when you're going to be home and you'll be set ... the variety is worth it.

you should be fine. just get some natural amino tabs. There cheap and well worth it for me. Try it.

yeah your gonna have to consider supplementing with amio tablets .... eggs and whey are excellent sources of protein ... one of the best sources of protein is eggs... how about deer? or is it all red meat?
