Chicken yay or nay

Congrats, OP, for figuring this out.

As for “difficult to digest”, I’d rank fiber first and fat second. As humans to get the most out of grass or bamboo we’d need five stomachs and some cud chewing time. Gorillas and Pandas spend all day gathering and digesting their vegetarian meals. That doesn’t leave much time to solve quantum equations.

Fat takes the longest and we need bile to help break it down. It’s a complex highly compact energy source.

Thanks for the note about Fat and bile. Actually this is exactly what my doctor described. My body passes fat really quickly, but the bile still gets produced and then has nothing to breakdown so it just leaks out into my rectum and burns.

For person questioning plant based diet benefit, this is straight from one of my nutrition textbooks: ‘Studies show that vegetarians have lower total blood cholesterol, low-density lipo-protein levels, and blood pressure, all of which reduce their cardiovascular risks; indeed, research suggests that vegetarians have lower risk of obesity, heart disease, hypertension, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and mortality than those consuming a typical western diet.’

There is truth to the statement that meat is harder to digest. The stomach must work harder to digest protein (this isn’t necessarily a bad thing) in order to denature it enough to allow the enzyme pepsin to access these bonds. Also remember that meat contains no fiber at all. Many are consuming excessive amounts of protein which is still energy and if not used it’s stored as fat. Of course you can eat meat and be healthy too, just use moderation.

This says the stomach works harder to digest protein. Even those who don't eat meat are still eating protein.

I'm slightly chicken intolerant, but not as bad as eggs. I can have it several times a week, but not daily. Maybe try to reduce the frequency and see how it goes?

Yeah. I think that if someone were to make a batch of southern buttermilk fried chicken, I would totally forgo all my diet plans and medical conditions for that. And I hope for that one time it wouldn't be an issue. Either way totally worth it.

The picture is accurate - skin on, battered and fried chicken and it's even worse when it's mostly pieces with a high ratio of surface area to meat. Maybe the words are accurate for the general public. But in the context of this forum, it's almost assumed we are talking boneless, skinless breast meat baked or grilled; one of the lowest fat sources of protein there is.

Thanks for taking one (or more) for the team here.
I didn't have the patience today to respond to this much BS and misinformation.
