Lean meat is obv < dark + skin, but eating pounds of chicken breast is still an efficient way to lose weight. Don't know why people go light on the spice. I just butterfly a breast open, pile on the dry herbs, then press it down hard to get a crust on the pan. Side of arugula and some balsamic and I could probably eat that for 1/3 of my meals forever.
I also think I may be one of the only ppl that actually loves eating boiled chicken. Grew up with a pot of bouillion ever-present in my house and I'd happily eat the cornish hen / mini chicken used to make it.
Yep, seasoning is the way to make plain protein tasty - no need to start frying. I also like boiled chicken. I remember when I first tried to get lean and was bracing myself for how bad boiled chicken would be based on other people's anecdotes. Then when I ate it (seasoned obv). I was like "hmm, what's the fuss, this is good, moist tasty stuff". Boiled chicken > overcooked roasted chicken imo.
Also, re: feeling full without having loads of calories, it's all about adding fibre to yr diet to slow yr rate of digestion down, so add some spinach to the plate with yr boiled chicken next time.
Now can someone please post a pic of some tasty food. I'm really into nutrition and eating clean etc. but even I find it boring to talk about.
And does anybody know a good falafel recipe? Keen to make some soon.
@PokerRon - thanks for the sourdough info. Looks like more hassle than I imagined though, so may stick to buying it
