Title: Anyone else here boil their meat and fish?
Post by: Deicide on September 08, 2007, 10:33:41 PM
I was just curious if any of you guys just boil your meat and fish like I do (in fact boiling 500gr of chicken breast now); I almost always boil. Less mess, no fat (oil), just water. Sure it's bland but I like to think of nutrition that way anyway, if you wanted to enjoy what you eat you wouldn't be lifting...anyone else boil?

Tastes crap boiled or broiled or what ever you want to call it IMO.
I use a non stick frying pan or the oven grill.

When you eat it every day you will in the end.
I went through a stage when I could not even look at chicken, then the same thing with tuna etc.
It is a balance, if it tastes to good you over eat if it tastes crap you get sick of it and binge on something else anyway.
You gotta balance it out.

 ::)  Good call.

Why not learn how to cook and then see if more mainstream cuisine really has the adverse effect on your physique which you seem to think it will?  I suspect your current diet is actually inferior by virtue of your unbalanced approach (I bet you're one of these guys who won't ever eat a piece of fruit) and a less "hardcore" nutritional scheme will actually benefit your physique and health.

I'll admit, I boil chicken quite a bit.  I cut boneless, skinless breasts into chunks and boil in a small amount of water.   It's a quick and easy way to have something on hand and ready to go.   I never eat them plain tho.  They go into a salad or something...

why would anybody ever eat a piece of fruit?
its an inferior source of carbohydrates.

I only boil chicken sometimes.  I usually just cook it in a regular pan.

I don't know if this counts but here goes...

I used to eat a lot of canned chicken but then I decided to try something new. I'll take about four pounds of boneless chicken breasts & put them in the crock pot. I'll fill it up with water & various spices (sometimes even adding a can of beer) & let it simmer for about a day. I then take the chicken & smash it with a fork. It ends up looking like the stuff in the can except way cheaper. I just freeze what I don't use right away. It makes the chicken easy to add to other things: salads, rice, pasta, etc.

I take a multi-vitamin and green tea extract. There is vitamins and anti-dioxidants right there.

the bio-availibity of most multi-vitamins is under 1%... your body simply will not use those minerals

vitamins tablets cannot provide good mineral and vitamin support... you need a healthy diet...

not to mention needs such as fiber

okay well i do understand that. but i get fiber from whole grain unprocessed wheat branwhich i eat once a day. its almost pure fiber.

dont vegetables give me the vitamins i need? what nutrients do fruits have that veggies dont?

veggie's are a superior source of fiber and minerals except when compared to berries...

i like using fruit to make boring diet meat taste better... like adding canned pinneaple to my chicken breast or slice and apple in with pork filet or orange slices with my salmon... i have recipes that include these
