This is probably a bad case of over-analyzing. I hate to do it but curiosity has got the best of me.
I've moved away from chicken breasts. Whole cooked chickens are tastier, convenient and cheaper. My current regimen has me consuming a whole chicken, every day, split between two meals (2 meal of 1/2 a chicken). There's the "bon appetit"
Here's the "over-analyzing". For the nutrition conscious individuals, what are some of the reasons for avoiding a whole chicken. Skin removed, they're just as nutritious as the individual breast itself?
On a "analytical scale" how much better is the "breast" compared to the "darker meat" (thigh, drumstick).
Any "gimmicks" I should be aware of when purchasing already cooked whole chickens?
My current approach to nutrition is such "eat whatever it takes to grow", with that being said I still would like to keep health conscious perspective on things.
Much Thanks.
