    Steak.
    "In the grand scheme of things, both things are quite superficial(obsessed with being muscular&ripped and incredibly strong). And yet lifting can teach you so much. My time at the gym--at least when I'm lifting--is invariably the high-point of my day. There aren't any questions; I almost don't even think. I go into an almost meditative trance-like state. Day-to-day worries become insignificant. I'm focused solely on the weight, and my reason for existence is clear. To move the bar and to improve on what I accomplished last time. Seldom are things so simple." - Blood&Iron

    "Most people cannot understand what burns in our blood, the gym is our addiction and iron is our drug. People don't understand why we commit hours a day to a goal where progress is so small it seems immeasurable, why we do cardio instead of watch TV, why eat 6 meals a day, why we insist on ordering diet soda or how we can drink skim milk. Most people will simply never grasp why we refuse to settle for a mediocre body." - Severed Ties

    Our freezer is full of venison not chicken, so that's what I'm always eating. I'm very tired of now and chicken is a delightful treat.

    I had a steak for dinner tonight, pretty damn good. Anyways, I think read meat gets expensive after awhile, I usually get a box of skinless boneless chicken breasts for cheap. It's got loads of protein and like nill fat, so I'm content.
    "It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

    "Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

    I like chicken. I can make lots of chicken dishes, but fewer steak dishes, so that plays a role. If the two were priced the same, I would probably buy each half of the time.

    If you can afford it, I like eye of round steak better than chicken breasts. It only has a few grams more fat. The only problem is in my area it costs $2.99 a lb while bonless skinless chicken breasts are only $1.69 lb.

    both are good.
    there are more important concern such as overall kcal intake and trianing routine etc.

    Chicken = good

    Beef = good

    Fish = good
    Squats work better than supplements.

    The pain in the ass is that all kinda meats , if you have to get like 180g proteine a day , are expensive
    Thats the worst case for me.

    I just bought a house , and having to eat alot of meat/day costs enormous with all other expenses covered.

    One day with good food is expensive ! Thats why i think there are alot people that fail to do it

    Warning.

    But outta curiousity, I wanna know just how many of you guys have sat and stared for a few seconds at NSX's avatar of the bouncing boobies? It cracks me up.

    Oh and I prefer beef over chicken but enjoy both of them. More so than fish, that's for sure.

    corned beef is even cheaper.

    39p for 340 grams. 25 g protein per 100 grams.

    so 3.4*25 protien = 85 grams protein for 39p.

    =0.45p per gram of protein.

    chicken is generally more exspensive than that.
