What do take to work to eat for lunch ..protein wise that won't stick in your throat

[FFOGG]

I have been grilling chicken breasts which i marinate in olive oil ..balsamic vinegar ..tumeric and pepper ..just about every day ..its getting cold here in pa and i need a clean healthy protein choice that won't stick in my throat ....chicken breasts in oven seem to dry out so quickly ..any ideas ?

[mtpockets]

Spice, bbq sauce and roast the boneless chicken breasts in a covered roaster with some water in the bottom. They won't dry out, I keep them several days cooked like that and they are never dry.

Good luck in your quest.

I made meatloaf for our lunches this week. This one has pork and beef in it. I've also done a turkey meatloaf before that was good. (There's a Jamie Eason recipe, here on bb.com, for mini turkey meatloaves that is really good and super low in calories!)

I've also made us salisbury steaks for lunch. Or a beef hash. Or a ragu (ground meat, mushrooms, peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes and spices).

In the summer, we've grilled pork tenderloins and sliced them up for our lunches too.

I think we've had soooo much chicken over the years that it really can be difficult to choke another one down for lunch! While I realise ground beef isn't as lean as chicken breast, I do drain the fat and rinse it, which helps. And I think pork is nice alternative to chicken.

Another favourite is tuna salad. I tend to make this in the summer. I throw in all kinds of veggies - pickles, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli, peppers, etc. It's quite tasty too. You could always try that with your chicken - make a nice chicken salad. If you don't calories from the mayo, try an olive oil vinaigrette.

^^^ What she said.

Also bunless burgers, eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt.

There's a lot of alternatives to chicken. I rarely even eat it.

I much prefer red meat.

Oh yes, I forgot about bunless burgers. I like putting sliced tomatoes on top of mine. That's the taste of summer right there!

ground chicken
ground turkey
ground sirloin
tri tip
turkey drumsticks (watch the tendons lol)
leftover steak, roast
meatloaf (I make mine with turkey or lean beef)
pork chops or roast
tuna

No one said you had to eat just white meat poultry. Most of my lunches consist of leftover meat from the night before or, if there's not enough, I'll just cook up some ground chicken breast and have it with brown rice and veggies the next day.

if you are hellbent on chicken breasts tho, a good way to cook them is in a slow cooker - add a couple of jars of your favorite salsa, some corn if you wish, and cook ok low all day. very moist and juicy.

You all should be ashamed telling these lies, you know very well the only thing a bodybuilder eats is boneless, skinless chicken breats and sweet potatoes.

I usually take sliced turkey/roast beef and tuna salad with an apple and banana for lunches. hard boiled eggs and chicken salad also sometimes.

I eat nothing from 6:00 am through 4:00pm.

Star Kist Tuna Creations Hickory Smoke in 4.5 oz foil pouches. Tear 'em open and have at it.

Ya gotta drink some water or anything you eat will "stick in your throat".


Try pouring a little Don's Seasoning Delight on that chicken as you pack it for work. It'll keep it from drying out and enhance the flavor nicely.

I make up tuna or chicken salad every week. I put it on a pita or spinach wrap, toss a few pickle chips on it and I call it a decent lunch. I used to eat tuna right from the can... wasn't cutting it and I had to dress it up a tad.
