im trying to loose a little bit of weight and i want to start with my diet...im a big meat eater and i dont know which is going to be better for me.i like beef more than chicken but both are good, but which is better??
Answer:
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
chicken. FOOOOSHOOOOO!
chicken!
Red meat has lots of fat in it!
Chicken is better, it is lower in fat, and calories for the portion, but it needs to be boneless skinless chicken...
They both have benefits. You need some "red meat" for iron %26 vitamins but nothing is good in exess. I might eat a steak or a burger one every two months %26 maybe some Schewan Beff lol. Chicken (esp skinless) is leaner %26 higher in protein.
Chicken. Red meat's harder to digest.
Chicken! You should prepare it without adding fat, too. The best way to do this is either in your broiler or on a grill. Sauteeing requires fat to be added. However, if you really do want to saute chicken, use olive oil in the pan or Pam cooking spray. Pam has very few calories and fat grams. and olive oil is one of the healthy fats that your body needs. Another great dish is chicken vegtable stir fry. Just cook it up with all your favorite veggies (broccoli, carrots, corn, onion, peas, etc.) and stir fry it in fish oil. This contains Omega 3 which is another fat your body needs and is healthy for you. Of course, don't over do it with the Pam or oils.Why? Because chicken is a leaner meat with less fat. In general, when eating meat, look at the animal that the food came from. Is that animal fat? (pork, beef) Or thin (chicken, fish). I'm not sure why it works out that way. It's a good rule to live by, though.
Neither. Avoid them both as much as possible, but if you absolutely have to have meat, go for chicken or fish. But if you're trying to lose weight you're much better off getting your protein from beans like black beans or soybeans and tofu. Much lower in fat and calories.
I personally prefer chicken because beef doesn't work well with my body. If I have a steak on Sunday I show a weight gain until about Thursday. But it all depends on how your body responds to it.
