any good protein in bologna

[larandox08]

I usually have steak during my bulking cycles as protein sources but I'm getting a bit tired of it and i want to try something like a sandwich. Some guys at the gym talk about bologna as e high protein source, anyone here knows anything about that? I liek the taste but grew up being told it was unused parts of the animal.

Bologna is not a good protein source to regularly include in your diet. It is high in preservatives, saturated fat, fillers and has very little protein.

It is not a good protein source. Try thinly slicing chicken breast and adding that into your sandwich. You could also fry an egg and that is as well. A sliced chicken breast sandwich with a fried egg, lettuce and tomato is delicious!

processed meat is one of the most unhealthy things you can put in your body

 

[Jay Scott]

As you were told growing up - its pretty much unused by-products of animals, full of junk, preservatives and fat

 

[Lev Butlerov]

Bologna? What? Never heard of it - just real meat, chicken, and fish. And you can put your chicken into a sandwich without any problems at all, so if this is what you want to do, just go with chicken.

Any deli meat will have a lot of preservatives in it so you want to avoid them. If you are tired of steak, just cook your meats and slice yourself. You can change the flavours with different spices. Be careful with the bread intake though.
