More protein compared to other meats... reason for eating it during weight control?

Chicken meat is a high-protein food. Looking at its components, it contains approximately 20.7% protein, 4.8% fat, and 1.3% minerals, with a calorie content of 173 kcal per 100 grams. In particular, chicken breast has low fat and a protein content of 22.9%, which is significantly higher than other meats (data from the Rural Development Administration). It can be a healthy diet option for people who are mindful of weight control or athletes. The protein in chicken meat has a higher total content and essential amino acids such as methionine compared to beef.

 

The reason for good digestion... also contributes to liver detoxification and prevention of fatty liver.

Chicken meat has fine and tender fibers. Compared to other meats, it contains less fat and connective tissue within the muscle fibers, making it easy to digest and absorb. It is a high-quality source of protein for the elderly, children, and patients in recovery. It contains many proteins and essential fatty acids necessary for pregnant women, as well as nutrients that are easy to digest. The methionine component that makes up the protein contributes to liver detoxification, cholesterol synthesis or breakdown, prevention of fatty liver, and prevention of vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.

Why did my skin improve after eating chicken frequently?... Which parts are high in collagen?

The chicken wing area contains a high amount of collagen and gelatin, contributing to skin elasticity. It also has the highest amount of essential fatty acids and unsaturated fats among meats, which are essential for maintaining skin health. Chicken breast contains about 16%, and chicken thigh contains over 67%. In particular, it contains linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, which helps lower cholesterol levels and prevent vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis and heart disease. The saturated fats found in beef and pork fat are relatively low. Chicken breast also contains about 200mg of imidazole dipeptides per 100g, substances that help recover from fatigue.

It is prone to spoilage, so it should be cooked and eaten quickly... Be careful with storage.

Chicken meat is more prone to spoilage compared to other meats. It is best to cook and eat it immediately after purchase. If there is a large quantity, be sure to store it in the refrigerator (1-5°C) and consume it within 1-2 days. The fats that affect cholesterol are mainly distributed in the skin. Removing the skin can help avoid excessive fat intake. Nowadays, some people first think of fried delivery chicken. Boiling chicken meat healthily can become a summer health food.
