A Good Source of Protein (Final)

Since I could remember I’ve always liked chicken. I’m not too much of a meat eater so chicken is almost the only meat I eat. I had a couple of bad experiences with meat when I was younger, so the experiences I had affected the way I eat in a big way. I also eat a lot of chicken because I work out five days a week. I try to eat it every day, and sometimes it’s hard because you can only make chicken so many ways. It gets old eating the same thing every day.
When I was younger I used to eat any kind of meat. One day I was eating a steak and there was a vein in the meat. My dad cut the vein out but I was never the same. Now whenever I eat meat I can get disgusted by it very easily. I like the way pork, beef, and other types of meat taste. I just can’t get over the way some of it looks. Also the texture can make me not want to eat it. If it feels funny in my mouth that’s it I won’t be able to finish it. When I was younger I used to have my dad cut of the parts of the meat I didn’t like. As I got older I was just put off by meat more and more, so I just stopped eating meat. By cutting of the fat and other stuff I didn’t like, I felt I was wasting food. Hence I figured it would be better if I just stick to chicken. I like turkey and crispy bacon. Those are the only other types of meat that don’t bother me. I have ground beef sometimes in tacos but not much.
I have to eat a lot of chicken to get a natural source of protein. Since I work out a lot, protein shakes aren’t enough. Sometimes on Sunday I’ll cook enough chicken to last me all week. The only thing is leftovers don’t taste as good as a fresh cooked meal. So I don’t do that too often. I don’t have that much time to cook either, so I eat a lot of chicken pot pies. Plus I don’t like to cook, for that reason I don’t do it often. Not to say I can’t cook because I am a pretty good cook. Maybe one day I’ll get a girlfriend that likes to cook. That way I’ll be able to eat the way I’m supposed to, instead of eating frozen dinners all the time.
When you work out a lot you should have chicken with every meal. But who wants to eat the same thing all the time? I probably eat chicken four or five times a week and I get tired of it. I can’t imagine eating chicken every meal. So I really respect and admire the weight lifters that have chicken with every meal. My favorite type of chicken would have to be rotisserie chicken. That with mashed potatoes, corn bread, corn, and string beans is one of my favorite meals. No matter how you cook chicken it’s probably one of the healthiest meats you can eat. Luckily chicken doesn’t bother me, because how many vegetarian weight lifters do you know?
