Glenr:
Hi Guys,

I am increasing my intake of food and having between 6 and 7 meals a day. I am starting to work out hard. The question I have is this. Because in Australia chicken breast is quite expensive, can I instead buy a cooked whole chicken and take all the skin off it and use that instead of just the breast? A whole cooked chicken is about $6.50AU whereas a pack of two breasts is about $14.00AU So I can get two chickens for the price of two breasts. The fat content I would assume is more in the whole chicken but I would pull the skin off and just eat the breast and the leg meat.

Do you think the fat content would be to high or will it be ok?

What do you think?

Jdogs Better Half:
Everything costs more in Australia...we get ripped!

If you only eat the breast the fat content would be ok, thigh has more fat (regardless of the skin). 

What if you buy chicken breast in bulk, we go once a month and get all our meat direct from the wholesalers - and freeze it - works out loads cheaper.

Tyler:
That would probably work. But make sure they don't inject the chicken with flavored oils and butter before cooking it.

JDog:
Hey Glen I find Coles meat a lot cheaper and better quality than Woolies but the wholesaler is totally the way to go mate! You can usually get 5-6 breasts for the price of 2 in the grocery store. Lennards are a chicken butcher that have good prices, not sure if they are in Perth though.

Glenr:
Yeah I think lennards is in Perth I will have to check them out. Thanks for that .
