Are sliced turkey and chicken breast from a deli considered cold cuts?

Question

My wife is reading a diet book and it says not to eat cold cuts. I told her that cold cuts does not mean sliced turkey or chicken breast you get at the deli counter at the supermarket.

Is she right or am I?

Answer 1

You both are wrong. Diet book? Have that book dissapear.
Depending on the kind and amount is key. Cutting out cold cuts completely is torture.That book is rubbish. Even sliced turkey and chicken breast can contain high amounts of salt, sodium, and fat. Go with a more favorable, sometimes pricey brand and check the ingredients.The key is portion control and what you eat it with. 2 slices or 10 slices? Wheat bread or white bread? Mayo or plain? Veggies or potato chips?

Answer 2

Cold cuts are processed meats, such as bologna. Your wife is allowed lean meats, such as sliced chicken and turkey breast, because dark meat has more fat in them. Meat needs to be baked or broiled, not fried, and not battered. Processed foods and canned foods are not allowed on most diets because they have too much salt in them. So, you are correct, Sir!

Answer 3

Yes, they certainly are. Cold cuts are known as luncheon meat, prepacked meat. cooked meat, sandwich meats, sliced meats or deli meats. You can cook your own and chill it like turkey, chicken , roast beef and meat loaf.

Answer 4

You are right.

Cold cuts usually refer to smoked meats that have a lot of well seasoned marbling fat to add flavor. That fat is a diet killer. Turkey or chicken breast meat is low fat and is a good diet source of protein.
