Protein in Chicken Chicken protein has a high, biological quality compared to many other basic 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 in order to lose weight. Quality of protein can be an important factor when losing weight. If protein quality is low, there's more chance it will be used as energy rather than maintenance of muscle cells, and this could affect the speed of the metabolic rate. Also, if calories ingested are higher than the body requires, the energy from protein could be converted to fat and stored under the skin in fat cells. If the consumption of food or calories is too 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! Therefore, it is often best to eat a healthy diet, but one that is lower in energy so weight loss can occur. Another reason why we should be attempting to burn off the fat, but feed the muscle! Many processed foods may 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 approximately 150 grams (6 oz) cooked. We believe this to be an average serving of fresh chicken. Compare protein in Chicken to protein in Fish Chicken Protein table:
