You know what they say, too much of anything is a bad thing..well, I eat about 6 oz of chicken at each meal 4x a day(yes, very bland) and that that doesn't amount for a whole lot of calories. I was wondering if it would be bad to up the amount to 7-8 oz? Is this too much meat in one sitting? I'm trying to bulk by the way.

If it works with your macros it's fine.

2tbsp PB is the same as 6oz chicken in terms of calories
2. No reason fo rchicken to be bland. Buy some spices/rubs/vinegar.Founder of MMDELAD

24oz of chicken breast is like 150g protein already. You really feel like you need even more protein from chicken? I'd rather spend my calories on something else that will help me feel and function better than excess amounts of protein.
Past that, I don't see the harm as long as the rest of your diet isn't suffering in terms of nutritional quality.PRs - Sq / B / D / Total

Chicken is good and you're not eating too much, but you should work some red meat into your diet. In my own personal experience and IMO red meat is a much better muscle builder in regards to sources of protein.

Yes, too much. Mix it up with beef and fish at other sittings. To be honest, I would get sick of eating chicken at each meal. I tried that once, and it did not last long.Originally Posted by Fitnessguy24

Chicken, fish, red meat and sometimes pork is what you need to look at.
