I switched from eating a about a pound of chicken for lunch or dinner to a pound of steak instead. I've noticed a great improvement in body comp when I did this. Before I was more "puffy" in the mid section and on steak I look more solid and muscular. I was just curious if there was a reason for this. I got off of the chcken as I was told it is high in omega 6 and I am often stiff (inflammed). I'm eating conventional steak but am also less stiff/inflammed since dropping the chicken. Ironically the chicken was organic from Costco but the steak is just what ever is on sale at the local chain grocer.

CLA? From Wiki:
Sounds like it, yes? :) |

How much CLA is in conventional, CAFO beef? No matter what, you are eating less O6. Organic chicken is generally fed a "vegetarian diet" and unless you're paying a pretty large premium, it's not pastured. Like farmed salmon, it has more O6 than you want. I vote for the fact that you're eating less polyunsaturated fat as the cause, especially if your inflammation is decreased. |

CLA, Creatine, less O6, more O3? |

I agree that it might be CLA. But it also might be due to other lifestyle changes you might have done (better sleep, better stress management, etc.). |

Beef is high in creatine as well--supposedly @2g/lb... |
