Tyson precooked chicken

This stuff is GREAT in a pinch! Not the most economical addition to one's diet and not the leanest chicken out there, but $8 for a whole chicken and all you have to do is warm it up. Not to mention it is VERY tasty.

This stuff has really been great when I don't have time to prepare meals. One chicken is enough for four lunches.

Available in your grocery store's meat department.

$8 for a chicken. That is steep man. For eight dollars I can buy 4 pounds of uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast

Did you guys miss the "in a pinch" part?

When I am sitting at my desk at work, I really don't have the option of preparing my own chicken. You've never run low on food in your 'fridge before?

$4.99 here in Texas.

I live in an expensive area. I could go three towns over and this stuff probably sells for $5. Even the sales in my local grocery store are not as good as other towns, and it's the same damn store.

They have some cooked chickens at the Sams club here for like $5 or $6. They're delicious and have about 100 grams of protein total. I get one every now and then.

I just get the precooked chicken strips, which are probably a worse deal than the whole chicken, but in a pinch I can throw a whole bunch in a wrap or a salad, or just eat them right out of the bag.


Too much fat/bones in a full chicken.. I hate picking around bones.

Upon a review of my receipt from last night, I see that I actually paid $6.49 for the chicken, not the previously reported $8.

For me it's not about how much I can eat but more about how much I need to. So I usually just make it about 40 g protein per meal ;p

Sure I could eat the whole thing, but how of that would my body actually absorb?

Blah....Wuss Just eat the whole thing.

It is just sitting there wanting to be eaten.



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
