You know, even lean pork has a fat content of more than 10%, and the fat content of "local pig" which tastes delicious can be as high as 30%. The fat content here refers to the hidden fat in lean meat, excluding the white fat part. Therefore, even if you eat lean pork, you will inevitably consume more fat, which is not good for reducing fat and increasing muscle. At the same time, chicken breast is affordable. In general farmers' markets or e-commerce supermarkets, chicken breast meat does not exceed 10 yuan a catty, which is much cheaper than other meat sources in protein.
In fact, the advantage of chicken breast is that the fat content is relatively low. From protein's point of view, skinless drumsticks can naturally replace chicken breasts. From the point of view of fat, according to the data in China Food Composition Table, the fat content of chicken leg meat is per100g13g, and chicken breast meat is 5g. After the chicken leg is peeled, the fat content may still be much higher than that of chicken breast.
What's more, broilers are getting fatter now, and the fat of chicken leg meat seems to be more than 13%. But relatively speaking, even if it is a fat chicken, the chicken breast is still thin. There will be pieces of fat on the chicken leg, and the chicken breast is basically pure lean meat. It tastes more firewood, indicating that there is less intramuscular fat.
