    Are the chicken breast , turkey breast and white crab meat that come in a can a good source of protein and can they be substitued for tuna. I plan on using them as a source of protein while using TwinPeaks carb cycling plan.

    Yeah, the sodium is kind of crazy in the canned chicken, so I wouldn't want it towards the end of a cut. I had it once, it tastes all right, especially with mayo. The only problem is that there is so little chicken in one of those cans I need like 4 or 5 of them just to equal one meal....lol

    Really p-funk? I get all my chicken at sams. I get the frozen chicken breast and the canned chicken. The canned chicken I get comes in a package. There are 5 13 oz cans in a package. For each can there is 75 grams of protein. Infact here is the nutrition facts:

    Serving size: 1/3 cup (71 grams)
    5 per container

    Calories: 60
    Fat Cal: 10
    Total Fat: 1.5 g
    sat fat: 0 g
    Cholest. 40 mg
    Sodium: 230 mg
    Total Carb: 0 g
    Fiber: 0
    Sugar: 0
    Protein: 15 g

    Ingredients: Chicken Breast Meat, Water, Salt.

    I eat A LOT of this stuff since it's so convienent. I make sure to drain the can a few times with water to hopefully get rid of a lot of the sodium. A pack of 5 cans (4 lbs.) costs just over $9 so price isn't too bad either.

    That's not to bad.....However, I live New York City, with no car and no access to a Sam's club (even if I did have access to one how would I get everything home?? Walk with huge boxes of food...lol). So that is not something taht I have the luxery of. In the supermarket here that stuff is really expensive.

    Chunks of fat huh? That's not cool. I've never encountered that problem and hopefully never will. I did find a small bone in one can though, I don't know what the frick was going on with that.

    I also flush the can out with fresh water several times to try and reduce the sodium. I'm sure the water thats in the can has most of the sodium in it.
    What do you think. Will that reduce the sodium substantially?
