Trader Joe's Just Chicken is about 5 bucks for 1lb of pre-cooked chicken breast meat sliced up already. Gives you about 119g of Protein.
Slubu If you like Chicken, I have a better idea for you, Go to an ethnic Indian/Pakistani/Arabic Meat Shop and get Fresh Cut Chicken. They can make boneless breast and or boneless Thigh and costs less then $ 2 a lb.
I go to a shop that sells Amish Chickens, Man these chickens taste great, I think another factor is that we cook them right away and if we put it in freezer it just doesn't taste the same.
My personal protein Journey: I have switched from taking 2-3 protein shakes a day to getting all my protein from Natural Sources like Chicken, Meat, Beef, Shrimp, Fish, Eggs and Greek Yogurt and I can see difference as I am eating less grams of protein but seeing better gain in muscles.
Interesting. I'm also going off the protein shakes and trying to get more protein from actual food. The good thing about TJ's is the fact it's precooked. But I'll try those shops, lots of Persian places by me. And Russian.
I actually like lamb more than any meat, and they are usually always grass-fed...
