    I definitely prefer white meat, mostly chicken, turkey and a lot of fish.

    I read that white meat is lower in calories and cholesterol, so that's what I eat. As far as it being dry, that's all in the cooking of it.

    Dark meat makes me feel a bit sick when I eat it. Yup. I'm that weirdo. So white meat all the way. Also, insert joke here about how I take my boys. :laugh:

    I just wanna know how many boys you take...this could make a good story!

    Dark meat all the way. White is too dry and you have to have a lot of water just to eat it.

    this is why smart people brine.

    I always brine chicken , ;)

    Do you prefer to eat dark meat or White meat, they say white is healthier, but dark has more flavor ?

    Fried dark meat is best, but when I cook stir fry or grill, I prefer white.
    And for Bar-B-Q, I prefer dark:bigsmile:

    I am like the Will Rogers of poultry.
    I NEVER MET A MEAT I DIDN'T LIKE

    Have always prefered the dark meat, but I now eat the white, less calories and less fat. Oh well we must adjust.

    But I like white meat better when it comes to birds.

    I know it wasn't the intent and I'm going to come across as a perv but this thread is hilarious if you have a dirty mind lol

    I'm not picky what kind of meat since they're all a great source of protein. Chickenwise I prefer dark.

    How could you possibly read anything pervy into this thread? What is wrong with you? Don't you know this is a fitness site and not a dating site?

    Both. It's all about moderation.

    Iron content in red meat is far superior - I have issues with iron levels being low, so certain times of the month I have to eat more red meat to increase those. I do that rather than have to take iron supplements.

    I eat everything though - fish particularly is great for a natural source of omega-3s.

    H :)

    Wow okay I know it wasn't intended as pervy (I said that already.) There's nothing wrong with me. I wasn't the first to make a comment about it and it wasn't until I read those that I started thinking it was. And saying it could make a person with a dirty mind chuckle doesn't mean I think it's a dating site.

    This. I think it's why I get sick every time I try to eat it.

    In the spirit of compromise and "can't we all just get along", I opt for red meat.

    I'm with you on this one :)

    What's with all the "white meat is dry" posts? Cook it properly, won't be dry...
