This is SO good and easy to make. My super lazy meal is hard boiled eggs, a side salad, and greek yogurt with fruit. |
Whole Foods sells pre-shredded rotisserie chicken. That plus bagged salad (sometimes in a wrap) works for me. I am ok paying for convenience bc it stops me from eating something quick but unhealthy. |
On wheat bread yes is about 12 grams of protein. Check your eating disorder hon. |
So gross. Why chicken legs? Thighs or breasts are so much better |
3 snickers bars is the same amount of protein as 2 eggs. I don't think saying peanut butter is a ton more fat and calories is disordered. (was not the one who posted that) If you just want protein and do not care about anything else then sure eat a tub of peanut butter or a million snickers bars or like my son says oreos becuse you get 1 g or protein in 2 cookies. Main point is that things that are considered good protein sources tend to have a high ratio of protein to calories. Good way to evaluate a good/high protein source is to take the g or protein x 10. This number should be equal to or very close to the total calories. If it's significantly lower, Peanut butter (8 g protein in 190 cal) is 80 to 190. Then while that food has protein it is not really a good or high protein source. Again if you just want protein and don't care about calories then go for the peanut butter but if you were to get all your daily protein from peanut butter it would take 2400 cal of PB ot get 100 g or protein. |
12 g of protein is not a high protein meal. high protein is more like 30+ g. |
If you take whole wheat toast, add peanut butter and cottage cheese and a dash of honey , its yummy |
If I was making meal prep meals to grab and go, and I didn't want to cook, I'd think about
Salmon done quickly under the broiler (if I was willing to cook a little), or tuna from a pouch, or pieces of a rotisserie chicken. Frozen edamame (just dish it out and let it thaw in the fridge in the containers) Some kind of premade quinoa. and I'd have baby carrots and low sugar Greek yogurt to add on the side. |
Yea you have an eating disorder |
Watch out the peanut butter police will get you. ![]() |
A slice of toast with pb is not a meal. It’s either a snack or a component of a meal. Add a side of edamame and a container of skyr with fruit and you are over 30. |
Okay psycho. I have 2 pieced of wheat with peanut butter before my workout, it's easy fast travels well and its sustainable, has 25 grams of protein and I don't have an eating disorder so I'm not obsessing over macro's and micro's and fat vs calories ... idiocy. Calm the f down girlfriend and if you can't up your Prozac. |
No eating disorder, i just know more about nutrition than you. Just because something contains protein does not make it a high or good protein source. If you wanted to eat 120 g or protein a day you would not focus on eating peanut butter. Just like if you wanted to eat 50g or fat per day you wouldn't focus on chicken breast. Both contain the macro nutrient you want, but are not really good sources. Peanut butter is a fat source not really a protein source. Again, nothing wrong with eating peanut butter. I love peanut better on an English muffin before a run, but that is because I want the fat and carbs not because I am looking for a high protein source. Have a great day, hun. |
I just had peanut butter on a rice cake and it was so delicious! Just sayin. |
NP. Lol, this is such a mid-century middle class thing. My boomer DH eats crackers with peanut butter every night; he was encouraged to do so as a boy by a coach ... "for the protein." |
