Q:
What is the difference between light and dark meat, nutritionally? I like the taste of chicken thighs better than breasts, but I've heard too much dark meat is bad for you.
A:
There is a higher saturated fat content in dark meat, so the same number of ounces of meat means higher calorie count and fat for dark meat vs. white. Just eat a smaller amount and you can still enjoy it.
