Cold Cuts?

[johnny99]

Hi all,

For cutting or even bulking I suppose, are cold cuts okay to eat? I usually grab low fat chicken, no fat turkey, ham, etc and make a couple of sandwiches a week for lunch. The turkey has absolutely 0% fat, 13% protein, unfortunately these cold cuts have high sodium.

So for cutting or even bulking, are cold cuts a good/decent option to make a quick lunch?

Thanks

Yes they are but you want to get a low fat and carb cold cut well really only turkey breast with LOW sodium they are usually loaded with it for preservation purposes, stay away from salami, balogna, etc...

By cold cuts I assume you mean sliced deli meat??

If so, some can be high in salt and preservatives. Most are fine and either way it isn't really an issue unless you are into the last couple of weeks of a contest diet.
