Tegal Chicken Nuggets

[nz_warriors]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what you's think about Tegal Chicken Nuggets

http://www.tegel.co.nz/index.php/pi_pag ... oductid/10

I'm bulking and have a pretty solid diet but would just like to add something different into the weekends?

Have everything sorted during the week at work but its just the downtime I get at home, don't usually seem to eat as much on the weekends since I'm not busy.

Beware the sodium, for a serving of 6 nuggets at 120g it's quite high at 384mg. If you were to eat anything else that contributed to the sodium level, it'd make the meal high sodium.

Low-sodium food: less than 140 milligrams per serving

Moderate-sodium food: less than 400 milligrams per serving

High-sodium food: more than 400 milligrams per serving

They're not an especially great source of protein either. In my book they're a carb, a side dish, or a snack.

Yeah there isnt a hell of a lot of actual chicken in them.

Ok for a snack I guess just dont go dipping them in heaps of mayo.

Cheers for the quick responses.

Its more so just a snack on a Saturday or a Sunday after a few hours at work when I can't really can't be bothered doing much.

Just buy a whole hot chicken and snack on that... atleast its actual chicken and not processed and battered

[PTinCHCH]

dont go near that processed crap.

battered eeeeevil.

soy protein

As I thought, all of these frozen convenience foods have soy protein in them. Mung's idea is good, just go hard on a whole chicken (dip them with something if you have to/don't care about calories). You know what else is a good convenience food? Steak.

I'm with PTinCHCH on this one. Just don't consume processed food, especially processed meat...it's like having guys operating a day care centre...it's unnatural. :pfft:

But seriously, I used to eat a lot of chicken nuggets/patties/chippies and I simply got fat, and it's caused other problems too such as irregularities and the skin problems. So now when I see that crap, I bolt!!! Have ZERO desire to eat that anymore, even if you put it 1 cm from my face, it ain't passing my lips!

Please do heed my advice, otherwise you'd experience shit loads of suffering that no man should ever go through. :pray:
