Does Chicken Help With Weight Loss?
Chicken is protein-packed and also full of calcium and phosphorus. Protein is slower to digest than carbohydrates, which in turn can help you feel full while reducing your hunger cravings. In addition to being protein-filled, chicken is also lean meat with very little fat. As long as the chicken is cooked in a healthy way (fried chicken doesn’t count) it is a positive food choice to assist you in losing weight in a healthy way.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHICKEN IN YOUR DIET?
There are many health benefits that are associated with including chicken in your daily diet.

Dark and white meat chicken both contain vitamin B12 as well as choline which assists in promoting brain development in children and also help the nervous system to properly function.
