[Shaggytph]

depends on the thickness. usually anywhere between 1-3

[justanothagirl]

deli meats aren't very nutritious nor good sources of protein.

how come?

[Aindreas]

how come?

They're perfectly good sources of protein, it's just that a lot of them have nitrites, occasionally msg, other random preservatives, and @ssloads of sodium. Again, a lot of them do, not all. Boar's Head is probably my favorite brand of deli meat (especially the roast beef), and it's pretty natural.

how come?

Nitrites. Sodium is the least of the worry. (except Boar's Head)

how thick do u get ur slices?

have them weigh it out for you and put in different bags im sure they would do it for you if you ask them nicely.. say you want a half pound and divide it into 2 bags .. then ull get 2 4 oz bags.. im sure they wont mind.. or how ever many bags you want of what.. like 3 oz or so.. they will divide it for you

It's 2.856856856... repeats forever. Most people round to the nearest thousandth, but some people just end it at the thousandth and don't round up. Either way is acceptable for most circumstances.

Listen carefully....It will have the weight on the package, count how many slices you have and divide it by the number of ounces you purchased, that will give you the answer.

pi !

geometry is yummy

[depo12]

deli meats are not bad unless they're prepackaged and have all that added crap...if they're freshly cut, what's wrong with them

[letsdothis21]

so at like a college cafeteria should I make a sandwich out of the turkey they have there or just do tuna sandwiches instead? (they have the tuna premade - not sure whats all in it).

thanks guys

have both

having 1 one day wont hurt and having the other another wont hurt either...

get what you want .. all in the end ur still getting the same amnt of protein or so in each sandwich if u have about the rite amount

its not going to kill u to have turkey over tuna

its all Preference of what you want i would vary it up.. there is nothing better in a diet then variety and getting different vitamins/nutrients from different food sources

[letsdothis21]

sounds good, thanks man

wait!! dont forget to factor in the square root of avagadro's number.. than divide by 6.02 x 10^23

What about getting fresh shaved lean turkey meat as your main source of protein? I'm so sick of all the meat I cook I just want to have my broccoli, asparagus and spinach with some cold lean turkey. No fuss is this a stupid idea?

No Salt Added Boars Head roasted turkey breasts are pretty good! Only 55mg of sodium, 15 g of protein, 1 gram of fat. The only thing is it has 40mg of Cholestorol! But as long as you're not having tons of cholesterol in your diet you should be good with that!!! I love making a sandwich with egg whites, low fat cheese, & This turkey on wheat or light multigrain bread!

A couple of notes on deli meat and protein. Generally if you get it at a deli counter it won't have as much crap as from a fridge case. That said perhaps the best you can do is get uncured meats. The curing process adds preservatives like nitrates and nitrites which, when entering the stomach, form free radicals that like to attack dna. So read your labels and do your research. In some cases meats are treated with sea salt and celery powder which also contain these compounds, but, perhaps in lower amounts. Grill a package of chicken if you really want to be safest as far as additives go. While we are at it, oily fish like tuna and salmon are great in moderation, just not all the time as they contain mercury. If you do eat it a lot ask your doc about taking an NAC supplement to leach the mercury.
