Seems like it's too good to be true. All the nutrition of chicken breast with all the convenience of tuna. How do you guys like this canned chicken breast?
You let chicken go for 7 days? I wasn't sure how long it can sit in the fridge for without going bad. I just ate like 8 egg whites because I wasn't sure about the chicken in the fridge. I cooked it on Wednesday. Whaddaya' think?Hi,
Personally I like to stay away from processed/canned foods. The processing destroyes bioavailable enzymes and nuturients.
However, the nutritional stats of canned chicken are somewhat similar to unprocessed chicken with respect to everything except mainly sodium. Sodium phosphates raise the sodium count of canned chicken to about 150mg soduim per ounce(28g). Canned tuna in water is about 125mgs of sodium per ounce(28g).
I Consider this when I eat over a lb of chicken per day especially on a cutting diet where I try to limit sodium as much as possible... My 2 cents.
An additional thought I have is that I am not sure if the protein quality of canned chicken may also be degraded by the canning process. Example: Out of 6 grams of protein per ounce of canned chicken, if 2 grams are denatured this is useless compared to high quality bioavailable protein. Any nutritionists out there know anything about canned protein quality/bioavailability?

I don't mean "lasts" like "doesn't get eaten" I mean "lasts" like "doesn't go bad."I actually cook a 4lb bag of breasts and it never lasts more than 2 days....

One more observation on canned meat.
You are paying for WATER WEIGHT. I found that I really do not have as much protein as listed in canned meat like tuna or chicken because if you drain the water you will find that you do not have the servings listed on the label. Very Far from it.
Sure you can argue this just like the fact if I have an overcooked dry chicken breast or "jerky", hehe.. it will have higher protein to weight ration that a big juicy breast.... Still I feel that canned meats are overly watered down and those are not the natural juices of the pure cut of meat that was put in there. I may be wrong, since I do not full know what is done in the canning process..
...I just read the lable of my canned chicken and additional water and broth are added thus weighing down the product. If you take out the water and drain it you are left with probably 3grams (rough guess)of protein per "canned ounce"...
It's so cheap at Sam's Club. Ironically, I'm heading to make meal 6 right now, albacore, it's 60g of protein per can. The canned chicken is what I always use to put in my omelets or put in chicken broth to make soup. I also make a whole wheat pizza that's killer, with the canned chicken as well. It's already tender and can be shredded with a fork, even works in tacos.Seems like it's too good to be true. All the nutrition of chicken breast with all the convenience of tuna.

Why?cooked meats in general should not be eaten after 48 hours and vegetables last 72 hours those are the health guidelines I learned studying nutrition in college
Really? I eat leftovers for a week or more.cooked meats in general should not be eaten after 48 hours and vegetables last 72 hours those are the health guidelines I learned studying nutrition in college
Me too, I'm still waiting to hear why this isn't advocated though.Really? I eat leftovers for a week or more.
