Protein in Chicken

Chicken protein has a high, biological quality compared to many other foods. The protein in chicken contains all the essential amino acids in the correct proportions required by the body for optimum growth of lean, calorie-burning tissue. Maintaining our lean weight is crucial for keeping the metabolic rate sufficiently high enough to burn enough calories to lose weight.

Quality of protein can be an important factor in losing weight because, if protein quality is low there's more chance it will be converted to fat and stored under the skin. If the consumption of food or calories is low, it is less likely protein will be stored as fat however, the more protein is used for energy the less fat that may be burned from fat stores!

Many processed foods now contain protein levels of poor quality. It means the protein in these foods may not be used for maintenance, and must either be used for energy, or converted to fat.

The chicken protein quality basically means that all its protein can be used for protein synthesis, which limits the amount burned as fuel.

Many plant foods can be combined to form high quality protein sources similar to the protein in chicken!

The table below lists the amount of protein in chicken of different types. The values are given for 150 grams (6 oz) cooked. We believe this to be an average serving of fresh chicken.
