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.

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.

[jrae 38]

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

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