Chicken that i make

[duritz]

my mom seems to find these packages of 12 boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the store and buys bags of them for me. Thing is that on the nutrition Info it states that there is 500 mg of salt in each one and it is made from processed white chicken parts. Is this just as good as regular chicken or is the salt way too high to continue eating??

I think sodium causes water retention. Some complain that it causes their blood pressure to jump. It may have other negative effects as well, but I am not sure...

Another concern is that, because its processed, it may contain junk carbs and unhealthy fats.

it has no carbs and like 3 grams of fat. And it looks just like real chicken breast. My only concern is the sodium. Is there this much sodium in regular chicken??

na its like lower grade meat and usually its older.. just buy the fresh stuff its cheaper and maybe you can learn to cook a recipe or two !!!

this stuff is dirt cheap, that's why she buys it. Plus i make killer stuff with it. I am a good cook. It's like 1.15 a pound as opposed the the 3.50 a pound chicken i just saw at the store yesterday.

YEah that bagged chicken is put in an ice/salt glaze for enhanced flavor. I never noticed that too for the first couple years of training. But when I found out, I switched. Eating as much chicken as we do that is way too much sodium. If you are a normal joe eating 2 breasts a week or something then I don't think it would matter.

yea it's definately way too much sodium, which is gonna cause water retention, but if that's what u can get then don't sweat it, eat like an animal and don't worry about it

I know what your talking about those chicken breast taste like rubber, I just by the good shit and spend a little bit more $, it's worth it. That's why it's so cheap cause it's crap. Get the good shit playa..
