Lean proteins??

[Rockstar18]

I have been eating chicken breast everyday, tuna, eggs. What other good lean proteins would you guys recommend?

[Sgt. Hartman]

Turkey, bison, tilapia, lean (95/5 or better) ground beef. My current favorite = flank steak.

[Armykid93]

Flank stake and tilapia are great.

[Papiriqui]

Flank steak, really!? I could have sworn that had a lot of fat!! Good to know, buying some flank this weekend lol

[Sgt. Hartman]

Obviously it has more fat than chicken so just make sure it fits your macros. 6oz is 36/0/12 255cal.

Flank steak huh?? Interesting.. How bout filet ?

I've been buying orange Roughy in Bulk at Costco. 3 oz = 89cal, 1g fat, 0 carb, 19g protein. I've just been doing 6oz...good protein!

Orange from Costco what?????

[Standby]

flank steak is not the lowest in fat out of the steaks. eye of round is lower in fat

Orange from Costco what?????

orange roughy is a bag of frozen fish at costco

Orange Roughy....it's a type of fish! I buy it in bulk from Costco. I don't understand why this is hard for you to understand.

if i didnt watch a jay cutler video i wouldnt know what orange roughy is either and im a costco member. i also dont eat fish

Steak is great, full of iron and I would add maybe nuts or beans to some salads to make a complete protein.
Getting a combination of foods to make a complete protein always adds a few extra grams here and there imo.

Yeah I may have come off a bit harsh there, but I felt like I was getting called out for not making sense or something. Jay Cutler eats orange roughy? From Costco? That's why they're always running out!!!

Kangaroo if you can get it...

[tall76]

Ground turkey breast- I make meatballs with it

[terraj]

Pork loin...lean, high pro content and tastes great

The difference is only about 3 grams of fat per 6oz serving depending on how it's cooked but the difference in taste is not comparable IMO.

[Macon_Bacon]

salmon is good, its a little fattier than some fish so make sure you check your macros.

[gbrice75]

Not to be redundant, but my 'incomplete' list includes...

Eggs/egg whites, chicken, turkey, lean ground beef, bison, lean steak cuts (top sirloin, etc), pretty much any flaky white fish, salmon and other oily fish (oily fish are protein/fat by default), protein powders, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.

i agree with you. i loved the flank i bought at costco ill definitely get it again especially since im getting a meat grinder. but eye of round roast then i cut my own steaks has been saving me money at christmas time

Any lean cut of beef if done in a slow cooker is going to be pretty tasty!

I used to buy a top round (aka pot roast) and cook it for 10 hours in my slow cooker with potatoes and onions in a low sodium beef stock. Man, tender, fall apart beef, awesome!!! Just gotta remember to give it a really good sear before putting in to slow cook.

so thats what a top round is.. i only eat filet and tbone with an occasional ribeye(bone in and pre cutting diet) so i dont know about any other cuts.. that sounds good.. i guess u weigh it first and fig out how many portions blah blah blah???

i may have to try that..

This has become a staple in my diet. So easy...I've never seared mine before though. Why do you recommend this GB? I just buy 2lbs and throw in the crock pot with the appropriate amount of carbs via complex and fibrous and turn in on. My crock pot has a warming option so I can be gone all day and when it's done it stops cooking and just warms it. So when I get home I divide it into 6 servings, and I have food for the week.

kangaroo steak is the best source of red meat you can buy. naturally very very low in fat, very high in protein and iron

I should clarify that top round is the cut, not 'pot roast'. Pot roast is simply a preparation, and top round doesn't have to be the cut used, although it often is.

Searing the meat ensures all of it's juices are 'locked' in. I'm talking about very high heat in a pan, a bit of olive oil, season the meat, and then just throw it on for a minute (turn) before putting it in the crock pot.
