Canned Chicken Breast - WOW!

[SkullCap]

Tired of eating cat food (tuna) all the time? Try canned chicken breast or canned roast beef. It's a tad bit more $ but it's a nice change. The cans I buy have 14 grams of protein per serving and contain 2.5 servings per can, compare that with cat food! I knew I had been eating too much Tuna when I opened up the cans and drained the juice right into my mouth, then tapped the tuna into my pie hole and swallowed whole chunks. I needed a break from that stuff - I'm down to only ONE can per day now.

Peace :feedme

Our Premium Chunk White Chicken is 98% fat free and because it's already prepared, it's ready to go the second you are. And with less water and no additives, you get more nutritious food for your money. Best of all, the tender, savory chunks of chicken are perfect for everything from a crisp summer salad to comforting winter white chili.

I have never once tried canned chicken. Seen it, but always passsed it by.

I've never tried it either. Is there a lot of sodium in canned chicken?

You sound like someone who needs a lot of convenience in your diet. There should be a "Meals on Wheels" for bodybuilders, or a "Bodybuilder's Restaurant" located next door to every gym. Fresh Ahi tuna. Non-farmed salmon. White chicken breasts prepared on a rotating spit. Dark green salads sprinkled with lemon juice or vinegar and your choice of healthful oils. Hold the salt. Hold the deep fried fat. Hold the basket of white bread death.

That would be a dream come true and actually, it has crossed my mind once or twice to cater to BB'ers. Wouldn't work in the small town I live in though. It is a GREAT idea though..........Of course, I would provide a "side menu" of various "juices" to choose from. Pay in the back of course...hehe

I like Tyson brand of canned chicken the best.


If you like spicey, try this:

1 can of chicken drained
a few sliced jalapeno peppers chopped up
a couple tablespoons of chipolte mustard (or spicey brown mustard will work too)
a tablespoon or two of sugar-free sweet relish

Just mix it all up, yum!

You can add in some cooked brown rice to add carbs.



Also, when you're sick and not really up to cooking, add a can of chicken into a can of soup (reduced sodium is good since the chicken has pleanty of salt already) and nuke.



You can substitute canned chicken in any recipe that you'd normally use canned tuna for.

I laugh at my Cal Poly kid. No canned food for him! He lives in this house up in San Luis Obispo with five other serious carnivores. There is a HUGE BBQ grill in the backyard. They just buy whatever meat or fish is cheapest that day and slam it on the grill, like three times a day. They've become excellent cooks, actually. They even make SALAD! They expend all of the calories as fast as they can cook them, what with surfing and/or mountain biking daily, followed by a trip to the gym. (Not sure when they study, but somehow they squeek it in.)

I have been eating a lot of canned chicken. I take some of the Texas Pete Hot Wing Sauce and pour it over the chicken and eat it right out of the can......it's good to me
