Hello lotters!
I want to share with you about my food here. I live outside my country and be a foreigner student there. I live in a hostel provided by my campus and eat foods in the canteens, I do not have choice because student do not allow to cook in the hostel. So, now, I'm very bored. I eat chicken two times a day, chicken rice, fried chicken, chicken soup and all about chicken!
Sometimes I eat meat if I have enough money, you know, the price is increasing day to day and it's very difficult for me huhu. I eat fish but firstly I'll make sure that the fish is fresh. Last month my friend poisoned by a fish, she bought it in the canteen and ate it. Few hours after that she must go to hospital due to that illness.
How about you? How often do you eat chicken?

Well hostel life has a fixed pattern. You are lucky that you have chicken everyday but unlucky at the same time that eating chicken everyday that too two times is not good.
Now if you feel you are not comfortable eating chicken is whatsoever form twice a day tell the hostel authority that you would be happy if vegetable curry were provided at least three times a week. May be they would give it a serious think. Lets hope for the best.

Quite often. I ate chicken for a whole week sometimes. chicken this, and chicken that too. Sometimes, I get bored of what I ate, I eat out at the restaurant. That is only choice I have to avoid eating chicken at home.

I have chicken at least thrice a week. Here in my place, chicken is very convenient. It is sold everywhere--chicken barbeques, roasted chicken and fried chicken. Plus, chicken is also not very expensive. However, it is not my favorite. I like pork and beef more than chicken. I also prefer vegetables if I have a choice.
Have a nice day!

I have chicken about 4 times a week between lunch and dinner. I think I would be burnt out as well if that was all I could eat.

Well, I am no longer a student any more so I have more choices in eating. I eat chicken once a week or maybe a little longer. I perfer beef to chicken. So I do not eat chicken often. For most of the time I would choose beef although beef is much more expensive than chicken. It is great when you can cook by yourself. You may eat whatever you want at that time. Cheers.

I tend to eat chicken several times a week. There are so many different ways to prepare chicken, that you can continously switch it up. One of my new favorite ways to prepare chicken is in the crockpot along with some ff italian dressing. It's so good after cooking all day. Ground chicken can be used in a variety of ways too. We like to mix it with veggies (tomatoes, peppers, onions, chiles, etc.) and put it over pasta with some red sauce. Chicken is also a lean meat and full of protein.

I eat chicken once in a week I hardly eat vegetarian food and I am and of eating non veg all the time. Even in office canteen I eat non veg stuffs. At my place we cook non veg and veg daily. Non veg just for me and veg for the other members so there is always a new dish. So on Fridays its turn for chicken. Cooked in different ways always. I enjoy eating chicken. I don't like eating fish at all. SO we don't cook fish.

I used to live away from home, in a hostel, until last December and there we got chicken five days a week, at least once a day. I used to eat a lot initially but after some time I got bored because of the monotonous taste and I almost gave it up.
Since returning home, I really like chicken when my mother cooks it. We do not eat a lot of non-veg food so it is restricted to about once a week.

Hi dik an,
It's not bad to eat chicken all the time unless you have an allergy lol... but you have to sometimes alternate it with vegetables for you to have some fibers, vitamins and minerals that your body needs. It's hard to be a student when you have to budget your monthly allowance and far from home. been there and done that... but you are faring much better than I did. Chicken and rice is much better than the noodles I had to eat everyday just to keep my allowance budgeted when I was in college hahaha. that's why I stayed away from those junk for a long time. I eat noodles rarely because they're not good for the health...
So if you have to eat chicken and rice, you have to eat soem veggies too... ok?

I make sure to eat chicken at least once a week. However I do dread eating chicken as it is my duty to chop it in pieces since my wife dislikes to do it herself saying that it is too slimy.

I do not eat chicken very much at all. I have a friend that is a farmer and raises cows and pigs. So every now and then we get pigs or cows butchered to go in my freezer. We much prefer beef over chicken.But upon occasion I have a craving for it and will buy some for myself as my husband does not like chicken at all.
