Is it really that hard to eat healthy every day? Yes, it indubitably is. God, do I hate eating a salad. Cultivating a six pack only happens in a veggie garden, not a beef garden. Unless you are some freak of nature, like I wish I was.
A ketogenic diet (low carb, high protein) is perfectly possible, but not as easy to do as stuffing your face with Mcdonalds every day, as the majority of America, if not the world has begun to do. Personally I do keto when I am on a cut, and eat whatever I want when I am on a bulk. Even though I'm on a bulk right now, this meal is very ketogenic, so I'll probably eat a metric ton of it.
This chicken salad is crazy healthy. So healthy I don't even want to eat it, but I will anyway for my readers. Because I have to do this heinous crime to my body, I shall make it as delicious as possible. It's just too bad my shipment of 521 BBQ sauce hasn't come in yet. Nectar of the South Carolina BBQ gods. Instead, I will be getting sauced on some low calorie liquor.
As most drunks on a diet will tell you, clear alcohols have less calories. Here are some general comparisons of calories per alcoholic beverage. Liquor 1.5oz = Wine 5oz = Light Beer 12oz = Beer 4oz. So tonight, I choose my trusty friend vodka to get the job done.
Ingredients:
Dark Leafy Greens
Veggies of Choice
Herbs/Spices
Chicken Breasts
Step 1.
Boil that chicken like nobody's business. Boiling is one of the healthiest ways of preparing chicken, and it is easy to shred into tiny pieces for a salad. Fill a pot just high enough to put the breasts in, but not let the fat boil over. For my pot, it's about two inches of water.
Step 2.
While you are boiling the chicken you can toss the greens and the veggies. Some people like to steam or grill their veggies, but I eat them raw to preserve the nutritional value.
Step 3.
When the chicken is done, rub some of your herbs and spices in it. I personally use thyme, basil leaves and a little cayenne.
Step 4.
Combine and enjoy!
Sounds healthy!
