What R U Eating ? ~OGH wants to know.....

[PiscesMoon]

When getting eggs, you want PASTURE RAISED

Not cage free or free range, try pasture raised only a buck more usually

Pasture raised the chickens get to eat bugs and worms and live better, a lot more nutritious eggs, otherwise your getting eggs made from corn feed

Yeah, I know. @QuadFather meep. I mis spoke in my last post - if you check back, I always consume pasture raised.

Thanks though for sharing the information in general so that others may be better informed & consider more about their food sources.

Awesome discussion about eggs and chickens.

I love chickens, I got to raise some before... Rhode Island Reds are my favorites... such sweet friends.

Anyway....! Live on the 7am kitchen meal prep scene:

Even your chicken is air chilled not frozen, no water, you already know!

Yee! You know what's up. Cheers.

The frozen chicken breast, from Wal-Mart for example, contains "15%" mystery "broth" and "natural flavors".



Definitely recommend for people to check their frozen chicken for ingredients list especially if allergies, sensitivity, auto immune, etc may factor in to daily nutrition.

Thats the shit that annoys me so much, here in Germany when you buy meat fresh from the store it looses so much water over 1-2 nights in the fridge. Literally swimming in just water inside of the unopened package.

Even when its considered fresh, nothing added to it whatsoever. It just shrinks down so much and when buying it from a butcher you pay a fortune for good meat. A chicken breast is around 8€ and when going for higher quality you pay 10-12€ for about 500g and yet the quality is still poor.

Not sure if conspiracy theory, but I thought they did that because it's charged per pound. Artificially increase the weight by injecting the meat with water & sodium pyrosphate or whatever.

I'm pretty consistent but never been that consistent. My diet and food preferences kinda evolve over time (days/weeks/months, not decades).

i've gone off the program a few times and it makes getting back on difficult you dread the thought of it.. But when you are steadily eating it every day its nothing.
If i don't get my high fibre breakfast in i feel like trash, both physically and mentally.

Yeahhh water weight is a ruiner of serving-size dreams with pre portioned meats.

Reminds me of trying out frozen fish once every few years... baking it just creates a pool with -2 bites worth of meat in the end. (Always buy fresh, wild caught fish!!)

(grabs some tin foil from my toaster oven tray & makes it into a conspiracy hat)

Added weight for sure. Just seems like a general "lower quality" product move. Adding """natural flavors""" is also unnecessary, vague, and indicates using additives/extras to make up for, or cover up for, the product having less appeal in its baseline taste. "Broth" is another mystery term that could mean many things. Kind of hints at using chemicals to break down the meat, too. May be useful for meat that comes from a stressed/unnatural/void-exercise lifestyle..,,., (removes conspiracy hat)

Some brands of frozen chicken breast/cuts may escape the added broth, brines, waters, flavors, etc. More expensive, fancy stuff. Maybe from Costco?

Eggs and questionably cut chicken (saturation+contrast cherry on top)

After baking the chicken breast I remove it from the foil. And add a few eggs. They get to cook in the remaining extra virgin olive oil & soak up the chicken... fat? drippings season-ings and flavors.

I havent been eating much solid food since surgery on monday. It was actually a much bigger deal than I anticipated and it been a rough as hell week of recovery. This morning I said screw it and fried some eggs and sausage.

Thanks! Hah. My favorite pieces are the ones a bit crispy or almost overcooked. But I've been sharing chicken breast with my cat every time I make some.. now her favorite food. She demands moist pieces only.
