Microwave vs. Bake/Broil - Does it matter? - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Nutrition Forum

Does it make any difference whether I cook chicken breasts and fish filets in a microwave or if I bake/broil them in an oven? Does the microwave do anything bad to the protein. Does it matter?

uncooked chicken breasts?

i would say no. the only time i use a microwave for uncooked chicken is after i have baked it and i'm warming up leftovers

doesn't it come out all rubbery?

fish i'm not sure...

Unless I'm forgetting something it should be fine. But you're going to get tired of them and their taste pretty quickly IMO, I would bake them.
