Chicken

[sarahlou72]

I usually do a roast on a Sunday then scurry away while it's being eaten. As its such a nice day thought I'd roast the chook and do a salad... I have been having 4 packs a day so far but thought I might join everyone today... Is it only breast I can eat? Also does anyone use any form of dressing on salad? Sorry if this has been asked before...

Yes, just the breast, no skin, and I usually have the lowest calorie, lowest carb dressing I can find (something like the good for you French one from Asda) and have a very little. There are apparently frylight salad dressings in Sainsburys that people have too but I haven't tried those.

Thanks so much bordergirl! Have left it a little late to go to the shops now so sadly no dressing today... But will check those out as I might start eating salads every weekend. I am so looking forward to the chicken

im having chicken salad tonight too, as i aim to get my meal to come in at 200cals like on CD, im having a small amount of light mayonnaise with smoked chilli powder, paprika and a squeeze of lemon juice to make a chipotle dressing - its only about 12 cals and 2 carbs - whole meal comes in at 5 carbs, less than half the carbs of a pack.

i didnt know we werent meant to have any dressings on s&s though..so dont listen to me...

 

[BordersGirl]

We're not but I just make sure I count them and choose products with negligible carbs. Really makes a difference to a salad for me although having said that I'm not eating salad at the mo - too cold

im in london and its roasting outside today, i was going to have chicken breast with bbq rub, and turnip and cauliflower mash but the sun has put me right in the mood for salad,

 

[BordersGirl]

It's quite nice here too actually today but since I don't have any salad in (apart from cucumber) it'll be veggie tonight

sorry , thought id slip another chicken question in here
i know we can have 100g cooked
what is that roughly before you cook it

 

[BordersGirl]

I think it all depends how much water the chicken has in it. I'd say 120g raw but I am guessing TBH. It's what I use but I can't say I've actually weighed it afterwards.

Ooh I'm liking the sound of BBQ rub

Kinickers - be careful of lemon juice as it contains citric acid which takes some people out of ketosis. LL even say at you mustn't have a slice of lemon in your water.

 

[knickers]

yeah, luckily im an old atkins fan, and found that citric acid has absolutely no effect on me at all, thank god as im a Scot with a terrible diet irnbru addiction! ive got myself down to 2 cans of diet drink a day now though. i guess some people are just senstive to it

 

[weasey]

I've never tried - not worth the possibility of going out of ketosis for me - but fantastic that you know you're ok with it! Opens up a lot of other possibilities.
