Why
- 2.6 g protein per 100 kcal (low; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
- 116 kcal a serving is 4% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 3 g is 2% of 140 g protein.
- Fat gives 48% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.
The portion to aim for
Even 4 pieces gives 12 g protein (464 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
