Switching chicken breasts?
I noticed im paying almost double for my chicken breasts are are
4oz:
1g fat
0g sat fat
vs. the store brand regular chicken breasts
4oz:
3g fat
1g sat fat
Does it make any difference? I can the store brand (publix) chicken breasts for about 1/2 what I was paying!!
Also anyone know the calorie value for 5 oz of store brand chicken breasts? I use to just go by Perdue, but these are different
This is what I use to get:

Is the added fat, from the fat being on there? Do I still count it the same? I notice the store brand has more (White fat) but most people take that off.

Exactly. Then grind it up. Spray a pan with pam. Place the ground chicken in the pan and add the following seasonings. Salt substitute, pepper, ground garlic and a little oregano. Top with a slice of nonfat cheese. Yummy

Why would anyone buy the 99% fat free ones, if these are the same? It's literally twice as much at my store. I think the ones I bought with 3 breasts in them were $3.75 or something. The ones with no visible fat (which comes off) with the same weight was like 6.50-7 something.

Your paying for the cost to cut and skin the breast and the convenience of not having to prepare the breast. Look at the per pound price of the skinless breast, frequently more than good steak.
Save even more, buy a whole chicken and cut and bone yourself.
