You must be cooking your chicken way to long, if it's turning out this way. What time and temp do you usually cook it at in the oven?

I've been trying to eat more lean meats (i.e. chicken breasts) and I end up essentially pan frying them in some olive oil and they always turn out tough and bleh. I've also tried roasted chicken (just straight up oven roasting) and it turns out tough and dry.

Does chicken benefit from crock pot cooking (like, is the meat super tender)? I might try that next...

I can barely fry an egg, but my gf cooks chicken in the pressure cooker and comes out great, juicy and fast. She makes all kinds of stuff in that thing. She made a pork loin for new years that would of taken hours in the oven (of course next day she made another in the oven for good measure).

pastrami, bacon, and hot dogs lol

she admitted it was the grosses lunch she's ever made and felt bad about it HAHA !!!!

me, I ate the whole freaking thing lol.

if we would have eaten immediately after pulling it from the crockpot, I'm sure it would have tasted amazing...

but I heated it up in the microwave for lunch, so it made everything taste like a prison meal.....

good job! adding exercising has lots of positive effects too.

I think youre cooking your salmon too long. theres a lot of white albumin around the fillets

and man, your pees must have really smelled afterwards lol

I said in the very first post that you didn't have to post world class meals

I'm just giving ya shit after that last to go cup picture. Good on you for the results, I know that as soon as I start to see results it makes all the other crap worth it.

That meal looks great, though as others have said slightly overcooked. Not going to kill ya, but won't be the same as when perfectly cooked texture wise.

Just left fogo de chau with a meat coma

[i dunno]

tuna poke sushi burrito for lunch today. its literally just an uncut sushi roll lol

It's the b vitamins in the asparagus that cause this piss stink. If you take any kind of supplement that high in say B12 you will see the same effect.

Here is a pic of a pie I made for thanksgiving. Cooked the pumpkins myself. Fuck cans.

My family's traditional crusted beef tenderloin on Christmas.

And some chili I made for dinner yesterday.

The cookery on that tenderloin looks restaurant quality!
