Do canned meats have the same amount of protein as their fresh counter parts do?
Canned meats such as chicken and tuna fish, and seafood such as crab and shrimp are all good sources of protein. Canned meats are helpful for when you are in a rush or on days you are not sure when a break will come your way. There is never a substitution for the real thing, but in a crunch, reach for a can of water-packed tuna. Deviled hams, Vienna sausage and other processed meats are much lower in protein, contain fillers and if eaten should be done only sparingly. 3. Use fresh pre-cut vegetables and fruit to help in meal preparations. Precut vegetables and fruits may cost more, but it is one of the fastest growing industries in fresh food production. These already-cut vegetables and fruits can make most recipes quick, ready in less than 15 minutes. Most local grocery markets cut their own produce daily and have everything from chopped tomatoes to diced bell peppers in their refrigerated case. In addition, check your deli and produce sections for already prepared fresh fruit salads
