Thread: Frozen Chicken Breast. Is that ok ?

They are soaked in sodium-I used to buy them, but after buying the fresh ones (ya alot more $$$), I will never go back to the frozen ones. The fresh chicken tastes WAY better, IMO.

Hmm... Sodium. That is bad because ... I was just about to search for it.

I buy fresh... It is getting way expensive too, because I go through 30Lbs a week

When safeway has it on sale I buy a shitload, then put them into ziplocks and freeze them. I usually buy enough to last a small family a year!!

Yea I buy them from Costco and I get boneless skinless breasts for 2$ a LB. I still have to clean them up a bit, but its not too bad

I didn't know this, I get the chicken breasts from Safeway or Superstore, the big 20 pound boxes with a bunch of breasts in them, they are in the freezer isle and you put em in the freezer to not go bad, not sure if they are put in sodium or anyhting, how do you tell? These ones seem to be fresh..

Wow! I seriously need to change my diet. 4+ lbs a day... I mean, wow!

I buy the frozen boneless skinless breasts at Sams (I think that's the same as costco). Yeah, according to the nutrition facts there's about 400 mg of sodium in one breast along with 40 grams of protein. I don't consider it too bad as foods like cottage cheese are much worse with usually the same ammount of sodium in one serving with only 14 gram of protein.

On most of the frozen chicken breast packages you'll see something that says "20% broth solution added " or something like that. That's what you want to avoid.

Is your avi from Akira?

Yes. You're the first person to ask about it

Just check the nutrition info on the label and calculate the fat content - if it's more than 30% calories from fat (and some have this right on the label) then don't bother.

We have President's Choice up here and some of their boxed chicken is 50% or more calories from fat. You have to be careful.

Is it Tetsuo? Havent seen it in a while.

I think it is Tetsuo.
Akira is good but I also recommend Cowboy Bebop, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away.

Why don't you guys purchase from a poultry? Less expensive and you're stocking up. you can get two months supply for $30bucks.

Yeah, it's Tetsuo.

Cowboy bebop is probably my favorite, but Ghost in the Shell is pretty good. Alot of people don't like it, but Perfect Blue is really good too.

Back to chicken.....

I don't know if we have any poultry farms around here. I can get buffalo, ostrich and elk anytime I want though.

Yeah, back to chicken..
Stickboy, Where are you from ?
Don´t understand wrong

I was just wondering if buffalo has more protein than regular meat ?

What do you consider regular meat? Cow/beef? It might not have more protein, but it is definately leaner and better for you. As any big game animal is. All I eat is deer, elk, buffalo for reds, and chicken and snake for whites.

Yea, Bebop is definately the best. I have not seen the others you mentioned, CB was the first series I bought and watched. Also if you like Akira, check out Fist of the Northstar. It is older, but way bad ass. Oh, and dont forget Ninja Scroll

Any big animal ? I think whale is not that healthy. But I don´t eat it anyway.
What do you mean when you say "snakes"?

Where you livin at buddy? Big Game is animals such as deer, elk, moose, buffalo, bear. All BIG LAND animals. Snake. Well what do you think snake is. It is a reptile that slithers on the ground. I have become quite fond of rattle snake meat.

Big game animals have red meat. Like beef/cow. Chicken and rattle snake are striking similar. Both are white meat.

whales aren't big GAME animals...

you beat me to it Premier

I didn´t see the "Big GAME animals" , I just saw "big animals".
Snakes ? I never tried it before. Do you highly recommend it?

Dont know where you could buy it I just kill my own, but sure I reccomend it. Should at least try it once
