Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the main elements of muscles. In general, the daily recommendable amount of protein is 1 gram per 1 kilogram of body weight. For athletes, the daily protein requirement is 0.6 to 0.9 grams per 500 grams.
2. Rich in vitamins and minerals
Chicken is not only a great source of protein but contains high levels of vitamins and minerals. For example, the B vitamins present in it are beneficial for inhibiting cataracts and skin disorders, strengthening the immune system, omitting weakness, regulating digestion and enhancing the condition of the nervous system.

Chicken meat is also said to reduce the risk of colon cancer.
6. Cholesterol reduction
The amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in red meat like beef and lamb is higher than in chicken, fish and vegetables. Therefore, it is recommended to consume chicken and fish instead of red meat to reduce cholesterol and prevent heart disease.
