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. The above data show that there is little difference in protein content between the two foods except eating more and less. When chickens are alive, they will jump around. Will the muscles of chicken legs be underdeveloped? But how can the fat content be more than chicken breast? Because there is chicken skin on the chicken leg, the fat content of the chicken leg is more than 3 times higher than that of the chicken breast, which is also the reason why the fitness coach or dietitian let you eat the chicken breast. Whole-body meat such as white broilers, ducks and fish belongs to white meat (containing less fat than red meat), while pigs, cows and sheep belong to red meat. I like to eat chicken legs. From the comparison of the above data, we can see that the chicken leg is nothing more than high fat in the skin, so if you like to eat chicken leg, you should take off the skin (this is terrible, so you can't eat fried chicken leg (the oil is full of fat).
