Chicken Breast.. need more protein per ounce!!

[Fortress Maximus]

The skinless boneless chicken breast I’m buying only has 23g of protein per 4oz.

After some looking online I’m seeing 7 or 8g per ounce. Am I buying ****ty chicken breast here or something? I’m purchasing Meijers store brand (for you Midwest people) to be specific. I looked at the Tyson chicken product and it had pretty much the same nutrition content as the Meijers brand.

Anybody have suggestions of a brand with higher protein per ounce, or a certain market to go to? Living in apartment I can’t raise my own of chickens, or I might with the way chickens for slaughtering are treated in the US.

I think the difference is the additives.

"some cheaper brands are "pumped" - treated with a protein solution that also contains salt and sometimes sugar"

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1365029/Chicken-meals-are-25pc-water.html

"more than a quarter of chicken sold by restaurants and takeaways is not chicken. In the worst case, a 100 gram portion of chicken breast was sold as 182 grams. The rest was water, protein derived from skin, bone or connective tissue, and chemicals..."

"Manufacturers have also been criticised for adding hydrolysed chicken protein, which is extracted from parts of the bird not used for food, such as skin, bone, and feathers. "

Ya, the quality of chicken these days are crap. How we get big pieces of chicken breast with no bones in them? There making the chickens so big they can’t walk more then 3 or 4 steps.

Where is everybody buying quality chicken and meats? Whole Foods?

170 calories and 31g of protein and they are already cooked and seasoned. I get a bag of 5 or so for like 3 bucks. I don't think your chicken is that bad.

Haha.. I was just at Kroger's this afternoon and saw that. They also had another brand, can't remember the name, but it was 25 or 26g per 4oz.
