What's the best chicken for your bodybuilding nutrition program?

Fresh VS. Frozen Chicken Breasts... What are the pros and cons of each?

Well, the frozen chicken is generally cheaper, but most frozen chicken breasts are pumped full of soy, sodium, and fillers to help "plump up" the chicken breasts and make them bigger.

If you find that after cooking your frozen chicken breasts that they shrink a lot and there is a lot of white gunk that comes out of them, that's a sign they are low quality frozen chicken breasts.

Fresh chicken breasts are the best quality, but they are a lot more expensive than frozen.

However, a good affordable alternative to boneless skinless chicken breasts is boneless skinless chicken thighs. Per kilogram they are approximately the same price as the frozen chicken, but much healthier because they don't have all the added preservatives and fillers.

Granted, there will be a little more fat and calories in the chicken thighs because they are a dark meat. But if you are following a bodybuilding bulking diet this isn't a big deal because the extra fat and calories will help. However, when you are following a cutting diet you should stick to fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts instead.

The good news is that grocery stores regularly put fresh chicken on sale, sometimes as low as half price. So when you see a sale like this you should stock up and fill your freezer. This way you can make your own healthy frozen chicken breasts from the fresh ones. And save money in the process.
