Which do you think has higher content in protein, chicken leg or chicken breast? Why?
The protein content of both of them is 100g of chicken legs (including chicken bones), including 20.2g of protein and 7.2g of fat. 100g chicken breast, containing protein 24.6g and fat1.9g. —— Data are taken from China Food Composition Table.
