This Guy Discovered the Ultimate High-Protein Meal Hack at Trader Joe’s

If you are like us, we love you trader joe. It’s cheap, and pretty much everything is delicious. And now you can get more bang for your protein buck with this amazing high in protein option found in nothing less than tik tok.

TikTok user Allen Yeaka @theallenye, shared a well kept secret in a video with over 250,000 views, revealing that you can get over 124 grams of protein in Trader Joe’s Frozen BBQ Teriyaki Chicken for just $5.49.

Amazing? listen to it “For less than $6, you can have four separate meals — that’s $1.50 per meal,” she says, recommending adding it to rice for a more complete meal. For the record, Ye is not a nutritionist.

Each 1-cup serving of Trader Joe’s BBQ Chicken Teriyaki has 240 calories, 9 grams of fat, 31 grams (g) of protein, and 11 g of carbohydrates (including 10 g of sugar and 1 g of fiber). There are four servings per bag. With the sugar content, it may not be an everyday meal, but rather a meaty option for when you don’t meet your protein goals.

However, we previously classified Trader Joe’s BBQ Teriyaki Chicken no. 56 out of 57 on our list of Trader Joe’s Best Frozen Meals, citing “the chicken had an odd, chewy texture, and while the sauce was decent, it still didn’t make up for the meat.”

While everyone’s taste buds are different, one man’s disgust could be the holy grail of another’s weeknight dinner.
