@exyle While chicken is a great source of protein, don't forget to allow yourself to splurge at least one day a week to throw off your metabolism. Just don't overdo it. Have a good steak one day instead. I had a nutritionist tell me this. And there are lots of fun ways to make chicken. I've made a "mock" fried chicken in the oven if you ever crave fried chicken. And then there is the cilantro-lime chicken. Yum! I am so glad to see you are sticking with your plan and your goal! Keep it up!
