Chickens: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a wide range of chicken products, from whole birds and cuts to ready-to-eat meals and processed items like chicken sausages and tenders. Chicken is a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth and repair. When choosing chicken products, check the nutrition label for salt content, as some processed options can be high. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends choosing leaner cuts and preparing chicken in healthier ways, such as baking, grilling, or steaming, rather than frying. Look at the ingredients list to see where chicken appears – it should ideally be listed as the first ingredient. For breaded or coated chicken products, be mindful of the fat and salt content, and consider options where whole chicken is the primary ingredient. Checking the ingredients for added sugars or excessive salt can help you make more informed choices for a balanced diet. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
