Why
- 2.3 g protein per 100 kcal (low; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
- 182 kcal a serving is 7% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 4 g is 3% of 140 g protein.
- Fat gives 57% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.
The portion to aim for
Even 2 katori gives 8 g protein (363 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
