So I am really beginning to get my diet in check now but I am also doing it on a budget so it consists of a lot of chicken and rice. But for now I am eating 600grams or 1.32lbs of chicken breast per day. Its cheap, high in protein, and I can make it out ahead of time.
But I know if I don't find ways to mix it up I'll get tired of this sooner or later.
So I am just looking for everyones favorite way to cook chicken, and if they cook enough for multiple days at a time, and how it tastes warmed up again?
Lately I just bake about 3-4 days worth ahead of time with some seasoning on it which isnt bad, but a bit bland and somewhat dry when reheated. At the moment I don't have a grill. But I can use the oven, frying pan, or slow cooker.
Been thinking about using to slow cooker to make sort of a shredded chicken for tacos with some good seasoning. It's just that usually other ways of cooking besides baking add more calories from fat or carbs, right now my 600 grams of chicken per day is 990 kcal, 21.4g fat, 0g carbs, and 186g protein. So if it has more carbs or fat thats fine, but I'd like to get at least 180grams of protein from my chicken and under 1300 calories, so I do have a bit of wiggle room.
All input is appreciated!
