my cholesterol is running a little bit high, doc says stay off the red meat, can i still gain with just chick fish, and protein powder?

I'd say so, just costs more. Don't forget egg whites (not yolks because of your cholest. challenge) and fish!!

There are a lot of BBers that don't eat red meat. Chicken, turkey and fish are all good sources of protien. As well as egg whites, cottage cheese and yogurt (if you aren't cutting carbs). There is also Ostritch and Emu meat, which actually tastes very good. It is sometimes hard to find though. Later

IS THE LEANEST MEAT YOU CAN GET AND IT HAS THE MOST PORTEIN. JUST GO OUT IN YOUR NEAREST WOODED AREA DURING HUNTING SEASON AND KILL TWO DEER AND YOU GOT ENOUGH LEAN MEAT AND protein FOR A MONTH. TRUST ME, I HAVE DONE IT.

No problems with just chicken. Thats all I eat 6 times ed. Or at least thats all I eat meat wise.

I think chicken has 27 g of prot in a 3oz seving. I usually drop two in a meal. Today I put two in a pasta dish -- I m bulking.

I get the per cooked ones. I micro them and just throw them in on the dish and chow down.

nope,, nothing wrong with just chicken, fish, turkey ect: but you must have at least one good newyork strip, cuz of the leaness.
plus it is ckalked full of vitamins, also has lots of creatine in it to.
definitley dont cut out ((LEAN STEAK)) from your diet just down shift to LOW on it.

The only problem with chicken only is that it is very low in creatine. Beef and certain types of fish are the only natural good sources of creatine. Of course, I heard that there is creatine powder too./t\

Also something I've been meaning to look into is if the cholesterol increases are because of using gear or giving a false reading as cholesterol and steroids (ie. Test) basically have the same structural make up. Hence, the term "sterol." I'm sure that that has something to do with it. I have always had good cholesterol readings so it may not have anything to do with it. Just something to ponder.
Peace. Freez.
