protein sources the last week for show

[BIG MAN'S ANGEL]

We always eat the Tyson chicken up till the last week, then we go to the local butcher and get fresh chicken because it is less processed...this was the advice we were given by a local national level competitor who also happens to be a chiropractor and he gave us a good medical explanation that really made sense at the time so we never questioned it. I had also been eating tuna up until the last week, but he advised against that too because of the high sodium content, but since you rinse it mpresiv, I'm sure that amount is reduced.

Very good info angel. Yeah I'm pretty sure the food @ the local butcher would be best. It definitely makes since to me, but during the last week do you still boil it? I think the tyson chicken has around 600mgs of sodium per breast. Do you think the butcher's chicken would have less sodium because it is cleaner?

BTW, I had a typo in the post on the 8/06. I meant sodium load instead of carb. Probably made things confusing

The butchers chicken probably has less sodium since it is fresh and does not have to sit on the shelf waiting for someone to buy it like at the supermarket. They add sodium as a preservative to keep it fresh longer.

That is a really good idea to buy it from the butcher the last week and I have heard about it before but there are not any places like that in my area.

He told us to just put it on the grill and eat it like that...I don't see any reason to boil it. Like nova said, it has a lot less sodium due to the fact that there is no reason for it to be preserved for long amounts of time like the tyson chicken. Though, I will tell you that there is definitely a difference in taste. It's a lot more bland, that's for sure.
