National Chicken Month
September is National Chicken Month but here at Dari Mart, we like to celebrate chicken. Every. Day.
Chicken is the most consumed meat in the United States, so it’s pretty fair to say (mostly) everyone loves chicken. But what makes chicken so delicious and popular? Is it the macro-friendly nutrition facts? The versatility in recipes and ways to prepare it? Maybe it’s both.
Chicken is a great addition to any healthy diet. With a great calorie-to-protein ratio of 335 calories to 38 grams per 1 cup, chicken is a diet hack to meet your protein goal. A widely used rule of thumb to judge if something has a good calorie-to-protein ratio is 10 calories per 1 gram of protein. If the meal or item is around this ratio, then it’s a good source of protein.
Chicken is also friendly to low-carb diets as it has no natural carbs. This means it’s great for keeping your carb intake low and focusing on using your fat reserves for energy consumption. But remember! Carbs aren’t inherently bad, they are simply an energy source. However, too many carbs and calories overall will lead to a surplus that is turned into excess fat. So find a balance that works for you!
Chicken is also full of fats, oh no! Don’t worry, the fat content in chicken and chicken skin is unsaturated and healthy. Plus, cooking the chicken with it’s skin makes for a more flavorful meal. Additionally, it is important for your body to get enough healthy fats because many bodily functions run on fat. So don’t stress about the healthy fats in chicken.
