Which is better and has more protein. I know alot of people say dark is easier on the band.

_{I would say, whichever works best for you. Both white and dark have lots of protein ....Just dark is moister and easier for me, at this point. But, I also cook chicken breast in the crock pot and keeping it very moist works well too.}

I have no issues with dark or white meat.

I'm always snacking on chunks of cold turkey that I keep in the fridge.

I make a great dip with greek yogurt.

A little tid bit for ya on the dark meat....

Dark Meat is NOT All Bad For You

Take a look at the nutrition.

• Most dark meats tend to contain more zinc, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, Vitamins B6 and B12, amino acids, Iron than white meat.
  
• Dark beef meat contains about 11 times more zinc than tuna, and about 3 times as much iron than raw spinach.
  
• chicken and Turkey dark meat contain vitamins A, K, B6, B12, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, minerals as selenium, phosphorus and zinc.
  

Here are the nutrition facts about white and dark meat chicken. One 101 g. chicken leg has 12 grams, 18 grams of Protein and 3 grams of saturated fat. 141 g. serving size of roasted chicken breast has 5 grams of fat, only 1 gram of saturated fat and 43 grams of protein. Both white and dark meat chicken are high in cholesterol, but dark meat contains a higher percentage.

both has Protein so in my eyes, both are good.

i have heard/read that dark meat is more moist (my hub prefers dark meats) where i prefer the white

i say eat what works for you.

high protein is the best choice. (dark or white, eat which ever you like and enjoy)

Ooooohhhh! I had my worst stuck episode ever yesterday on white meat chicken reheated! I will NEVER do that again!!!

When you reheat, do it in broth. I buy the boxed kind, which keeps on the fridge for 2 weeks.

I mean IN the fridge! Not on it! It has to be refrigerated!

I also seem to have problem with white got stuck couple of times so eat mainly dark now.

I can not eat white meat. It gets stuck every time. Pork also. It is to dry.
