Tired of chicken!!!

[Recruit]

Besides chicken, what else can I eat to get the protein I need to support my 6' 235lb. frame? Also, how much water should I drink throughout the day, I've heard one gallon per 100lbs. of body weight. Is this true?

 

[thezan]

man if you are that big, u must know other sources of protein...come on man!!

I drink a gallon a day, im only 190 though

You can go with forms of turkey, such as ground turkey, or also tuna. I cant touch tuna anymore after eating it for an entire 16 week cutting diet, about 5-7 cans per day. I havent touched a can of tuna in about 2 years. Luckily though, I havent gotten like that with chicken yet. It does suck when you get sick of eating something and cant take the taste anymore, it get frustrating trying to find another good source of protein that you actually like eating.

ooohhhhh.........if i didnt know better.....unless you talking about chicken spiked with anabolics i think that this thread belongs in the diet & muscle food discussion forums.........

 

[Slyder190]

Turkey, lean beef, fish, eggs. I eat egg white omlettes a lot. I'm sick of them too, but they're so easy to make and clean. I may go back to the Foreman Grill though or maybe fry some turkey burgers in a pan with Pam.

This is a thread for the diet forum, but since I dont have the capability of moving it there myself, Im not going to be a dick and not help a brotha out

I throw in a little lean beef to switch it up. I eat a lot of cottage cheese for breakfast. Especially if am rushed. Not bad. Tuna is a staple. Salmon. Whatever. got to costco and get creative.

 

[petalpusher]

I concur with the lean beef. I always have minimum 90% lean ground beef, top round steak, and eye of round steak on hand!

STEAK, fish, EGGS, nuts, whey, turkey, game meat, etc. I think you get the picture. I tend to stay away from ham though.

get you a big ass turkey breast from any grocery store, season the outside and in between the skin and flesh with anything you like then fire up the grill, put your coals around a drip pan(pan with little bit of water in it) so the turkey is not directly over the flame. let it cook for about an hour depending on the size. internal temp should be 165degrees. keep checking it in the last few minutes and remove it from the grill at about 150-155deg, let it stand for 10-15 mins on the countertop or wherever, then cut it up, and enjoy. you have plenty for 1 dinner and a bunch of leftovers for quick and easy meals the reast of the week.

Pork & Tilapia fish are also good.....approximately 15-20+ grams of protein in each serving of these, too. Like the others said, get creative if you can, that way you don't burn out on the stuff so quickly.

 

[Ramcononer]

Tilapia is great. And its farm grown so you dont have to worry about mercury. depending in the size of the filet about 20g protein 1g fat 0 carbs. Make chili with ground turkey.. beans and tomatoes..almost no fat and tons of protein. Leftovers for a quick reheat.

this is my diet exactly. go with the extra lean ground turkey, you can saute it in a pan with chopped tomatoes, onions, some jalapenos, garlic powder, s & p and keep it in a container and eat it hot, or sometimes in half a whole grain pita like i do. super clean and delicious.

 

[krishna]

Oh ya definitely cottage cheese for late night protein

 

[karachi183]

Plus tilapia is cheap as hell like tuna. Lean beef IMO is a must during the week as is tons of boiled eggs and i personally try to get half of my daily protein intake from shakes (1-2 a day at the very least)

 

[Ramcononer]

yea tilapia is very cheap..you can get like 3 decent filets for about $4...I like turkey jerky too. and fat free refried beans in a whole wheat tortilla with chicken and salsa. 1 can of refried beans has about 25g protein no fat. also hormel vegitarian chili taste good and has almost no fat and about 26g protein.

I gave you like 6 meats in a previous post about this. Better yet man forget everything mentioned above, EAT PARTIALLY-HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL! Bro, gets you big, lean and hard like none other...

Damn steelmass ain't playing around.... K to him. I like the direct route versus the indirect bullshi i mean route.

My uncle (who is extremely wealthy) told me atkins was no problem he lost all the weight he wanted to lose and I thought "geez, how do these people do it" well when you spend the money you can get REALLY good food. He was eating filet mignon 3x a day.

So with that my advice is get the highest quality stuff you can afford, I think it makes the protein sources stay tasting good.

 

[V&M]

Fish, 3 times a week at least. If you're willing to look into it and experiement, you'll probably be calling fish your favorite within no time at all.

 

[gymratforlife]

Tilapia,salmon,other white fish,round tip roast cuts of beef,pork loins or sirloins,beef jerky is a great low fat protein snack you can take any were.Turkey breast is very good if you can stand the nasty taste.
