Roasted chicken (whole), seasoned, with the skin and visible fat removed.
Why it matters to health
This is a good lean protein for your meals and snacks. In 100g, it has about 162 kcal and low carbs (2.2g), so it helps keep you full and supports muscle maintenance. It also provides cholesterol (108mg) and some saturated fat (1.78g), but removing the skin helps reduce the higher-fat parts. One thing to watch is sodium (677mg), especially if the chicken is heavily seasoned—high-sodium meals can add up across the day.
Healthier tips
- For your 3 full meals + 1–2 snacks: aim for 1 palm-sized serving of chicken per meal (about 80–120g cooked), then balance with 1–2 cups vegetables and 1/2–1 cup rice or other carbs depending on your hunger and activity.
- Choose lightly seasoned or rinse/skim off excess seasoning if possible, and avoid pairing with very salty sides (e.g., salted bagoong, instant noodles).
- To reduce saturated fat further, keep the habit of removing skin and visible fat.
- Spread protein across the day: include chicken in lunch or dinner, and use smaller portions for snacks if you’re having something like chicken-based meals.
