Fat In Chicken Meat

 

You may recall that I recently posted a video about how much sodium is found in chicken meat.  The conclusion in this video amazed me.   If you missed that video, you can find it here:

Now, add to all that sodium found in chicken with the high fat content and you now have a menu item that you really need to monitor how much you are consuming.  Watch this video that talks about how much fat is now in a serving of chicken:

 

So, are you are having chicken with your supper tonight? How healthy is that choice now that you saw those videos?  Could all this sodium and fat be contributing to your elevated blood pressure and expanding waistline?  Could all that sodium be contributing to your dry eyes? 

When Casie and I were consuming meat, we chose chicken frequently over red meat and other protein sources because we thought the former was low in fat and we assumed the only sodium the meat received was from our seasoning in the kitchen.

I wish we would have known about the sodium and fat content of chicken meat because I probably would have consumed less of the meat at meal time than I previously did.

As we have repeated here on the blog, we are not out to convert you to veganism/vegetarianism.  Rather, we want you to be healthy and knowledgeable about things like this.  If you chose to consume chicken meat, just be aware of how much sodium and fat is found in it and you may want to alter the amount you consume and you may want to hold off on adding any additional sodium to the meat.  As you saw above, it already has plenty.

I believe that one of the major factors that contributed to my weight loss so far has been from reducing or eliminating high (animal) fat and high sodium foods.
