yet another reason to drop the coldcuts
for the past several months, i had been using boarshead coldcuts as part of one of my meals, thinking it was quick and easy. however, just started using chicken breast instead and it's so much better.
other than the obvious reason that cold cuts are processed, there's also the issue of the added water content. i'm now using 1/2lb (8oz) of chicken breast, which after it's cooked, only ends up being about 5oz. this 5oz of cooked chicken breast has more protein than 1/2lb of cold cuts. so, i'm getting even more protein from the 5oz of cooked chicken breast than i was from the 1/2lb cold cuts, plus since there's not as much of it, i can take it down quicker. this means less time eating which when bulking, is always a good thing, at least for me.
just wanted to throw this out there for anyone still using cold cuts thinking they're a good idea. those things have way too much water added to them, take way too long to eat (in comparison to the chicken breast), and unless it's boarshead, you have no idea what kind of additives they toss into it.

yeah 100% used for convenience in my book. if i absolutely have to eat and don't have food with me (which honestly never happens) i'll eat that shit. and by "that shit" i mean the pig skin and hooves along with the donkey butthole and cow intestines.

oh, i also forgot to add that the cold cuts i'd get would typically cost $9/lb ($8.99/lb, which to me is a scammers $9), and the chicken i get only costs $3/lb. so, i'm only spending 1/3rd the money, minus the cost of electricity for the oven to cook it. still sure i'm spending less than half regardless though.

as far as people eating sh*t and being shredded, unless they're full of chems, i find it highly unlikely they'd be eating that bad and still be able to be shredded unless they're doing tons of cardio. it just doesn't happen.
this thread was intended to simply show people a far better alternative to cold cuts and why it is IMO. if you don't think so, that's fine, but so far there are several positives to changing to chicken and no negatives in my book.
