You cook them before eating.
They come pre-brined, so any form of cooking that ends at 165F makes them incredibly juicy and good, even directly from frozen. BBQ is best.
I’ve heard you can cut intake by a third if you switch from chicken breast to fish. Not cheap but you can get frozen tilapia cheap and tuna is safe if limited to once or twice a week. Part of the problem with whey is processing and potential contamination, but also dyes and flavorings, which may be why you felt better without it.
I definitely feel a bit better, and have a much easier time building muscle.
If you run the numbers, you can actually eat a shocking amout of protein (300g+ / day) from lean meat while maintaining a calorie deficit.
And if you buy frozen chicken breasts from Costco, I think it’s actually cheaper than whey!
That said - you do you, whey has its place in many lifestyles.
