A handfull of peanuts and chicken breast vs peanut butter and protein shake

[The Wolf]

How would these compare? At the moment I havent got any protein powder and I cant be bothered to make peanut butter again so how would a handfull of peanuts and 200gm chicken breast compare to 1tbs peanut butter and protein shake?I know it takes quite alot of peanuts to make Itbs peanut buuter.

always pick real food over processed if you have the opportunity...just my .02

Ok so you prefer the chicken and peanuts, thanks who else?

[Frosty]

I don't see a real difference. Watch peanuts...calories add up pretty quickly. I'm a firm believer in having anyone weigh out nuts for meals because it's WAY too easy to overeat them and get way too many calories. I think mac nuts are a waaay better choice, though.

When you weigh out nuts, no matter which ones they are, you will be very disappointed in how much you get. I like to mix things up a bit and add either Nat.PB or Mac oil to my shakes and if I am at home for my chicken meal, I will add the mac oil to it instead of having the nuts. But yes, everything gets weighed out in grams except for the oil that is measured with a measuring spoon.

yeah but they are REALLY expensive...I take the middle ground and go with almonds

I get mac nuts for $8.4 a pound at Trader Joes.

I remember you trying to find a replacement for the whey in your other thread, your in Turkey right.

In Dave Palumbo's book Perfect Prison Physique he has a totally different diet then what he puts on the web.

There is mackerel and tuna packets for protein and peanuts for protein and fat in the meal plan.

I say be creative, use what you can get a hold of. As long as your carbs are where they are supposed to be, food choice is secondary.

I got a restaurant near me that makes fried walnut crusted chicken breast dipped in Godiva chocolate sauce. Does this count?

At least u can find them, up here we have "bulk barn" walnuts, cashews, almonds, peanuts are easy, but no mac nuts or oil
