Cheesy Chicken Balls! Low Calorie, High Protein!

Chicken Balls!  These Cheesy Chicken Balls are High in Protein, Low in Calories!

Chicken balls are a favourite of mine!  These are made from low fat cheese and lean chicken mince.  Plus some of my favourite herbs and spices too!
Prep and cooking time comes to about 25 mins!  So easy!
See the chicken balls video below:
The batch I cooked up served 4 people (all of us strapping lads), so there should be plenty for all!
I used lean chicken mince and low fat cheese to make it a low fat (as well as a low carb) meal.  This brought the calorie count right down.  You could use regular full fat cheese if you wanted to.  This just means the calorie content will obviously be higher.

The nutritional break down of the chicken balls is as follows:
Whole Batch: 
Calories 1424kcal; Carbs 30g, Fat 14g, Protein 267g

Per Serving:
Calories 356kcal; Carbs 7.5g, Fat 3.5g, Protein 66.75g

Ingredients:
The ingredients list is:
– 1kg Lean Chicken Mince
– 4 Egg Whites
– 65 Protein Cheese (grated)
– 60g Low Fat Garlic Soft Cheese Spread
– 100g Chopped Onion
– 2 tablespoons Shawarma mix

I served these with microwaved mixed vegetables, but if you wanted carbs too, you could always chop up some potatoes into fries and have those with them too.  Otherwise rice could be an option.  Also, I wouldn’t want to take away from the flavour of the cheesy chicken balls, but if you wanted, you could serve with sugar-free ketchup, with mustard, or even low-fat humous:

Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review

https://howistayfit.com/training/abolic4/ Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review   admin   28/02/2019 As you probably already know, I am generally not a big fan of nutritional supplements.  The reason being, is that most of the time I don’t notice any results that warrant spending money on them. Apart from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), I usually just stick to the few basics like whey protein, creatine, omega-3 fish oil, and multi-vitamins. However, I am quite excited by the results of a new supplement that I have been experimenting with: A-Bolic4 A-Bolic4 The product I have been using is called A-Bolic4.  It is made by an American company called The Lab, and it is marketed as an “anabolic growth supplement”.  They claim that it “supports anabolic growth, increased metabolism, cellular integrity, and male sexual health”. My Experience Before I talk more about the supplement, and what’s in it, let me talk about my res...

Training during Ramadan

https://howistayfit.com/training/training-during-ramadan/ Training during Ramadan   admin   07/05/2019 When you cannot eat or drink for 16 hours or so each day, what do you do?! Training during Ramadan? A question I get asked regularly each year, is how to best eat and train during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims around the world, for it is within this month that the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammed.  A special requirement for this month is that all Muslims who are able to, are required to fast every day from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from all eating or drinking, and not even water is allowed. Harder than Intermittent Fasting Clearly this is very different from the Intermittent Fasting (IF) protocols that are popular at the moment. At least with IF you still drink fluids whilst fasting. But for Ramadan, this is not the case! To make matters even more difficult, the Islamic calendar is ba...

“Starvation Mode”

“Starvation Mode” It is quite likely that you have come across the term “starvation mode” before. If you are dieting and exercising, but you are not seeing progress, then a common self-diagnosis is that your body has gone into “starvation mode”.  In this post I am going to reassure you that this is simply not the case!  Read on! Here’s a common scenario You were trying to lose weight, so you decreased your calorie intake and stayed disciplined to your workout routine.  You were happy to see your bodyweight readings going down, and your physical appearance was beginning to look slimmer and leaner.  Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, all progress appeared to stop! You didn’t cheat on your diet.  You didn’t skip any workouts. So, you do what most of us do when we have a problem.  You search online.  You talk to your friends. And you soon come to the conclusion that you are not losing weight because ...
