I can't stand chicken, it gives me the worst smelling farts, plus I just can't eat a lot of chicken.

I love turkey breast though.

turkey is good but red meat has more protein

 

[=w=]

Diamond:

I keep hearing you say this that red meat has more protein. That is wrong. Due to red meats higher fat content it actually is composed of less protein by weight then other leaner meats. It may be more beneficial to eat red meat (which I believ it is, due to natural creatine lavels as well as various hormonal responses to red meat) but that doesnt mean it has more protein.

read the book"the metabolic diet"it lists the protein for each type of food and red meat is higher in protein than white meat

Well, it depends to a large extent on the cut of red meat.

Grams of Protein per 100 grams cooked portion:

Top Round - 36.12

Bottom Round - 28.77

Top Sirloin - 30.37

Turkey Breast - 30.06
