    Opinions on this grilled chicken

    There's a grilled chicken recipe (marinade) that I found in the newspaper. It has the following values for a grilled 7-ounce breast:

    Calories 313 (29% from fat)
    Fat 10g (2g saturated)
    Cholesterol 110mg
    Protein 41g
    Carb 14g
    Sodium 247mg

    Does this look like something you'd eat on a bulk diet? When I see double digits in the Fat category I tend to look for something else.

    Not the fat I'd be concerned w/, it's the carbs...14 g of carbs from grilled chicken says SUGAR to me!

    Sugar is evil, not fat

    The recipe calls for honey, I'm assuming this is where the carb/sugar is coming from. The ingredient list sounds okay though, low sodium soy sauce, honey, ginger, limes, sesame oil, some garlic and onion powders.

    Looks like I'll just stick to grilling chicken breasts with some oregano, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil.

    Thanks for the welcome to IM

    MAX...if you're on a bulk go ahead and make the recipe...it's only a little bit of sugar. When you're ready to cut then you should worry about eliminating the sugars. If you get no enjoyment out of your eating now just think about how difficult it will be to cut!
    Searching for the right balance...

    Lower the soy and honey, GINGER IS GREAT!!! (Real GINGER), add a lemon and substitute garlic powder for the REAL GARLIC!

    I bought this huge jar of minced garlic a while back, figured it would come in handy with my cooking. I've used it for grilling chicken and steaks, also good for the stir-fry dishes. Another reason I bought it is cause I got tired of having garlic smelling hands after cutting them with a knife.

    You're right, nothing tastes better than the real deal, I don't cook with certain powdered spices (ginger, garlic, onion..etc..) it just doesn't taste the same.

    Miced is a lot better than the powder. Sounds like you need the quick Chopper as shown on Informercials!

    LOL, you know what!!?? I have one of those choppers, bought it about ten years ago. The garlic seems to like getting stuck between the blades, I use it mostly for chopping onions, pickles, carrots..big food items.
