[et_pb_section bb_built="1" admin_label="section"][et_pb_row admin_label="row"][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"] Fitness junkies, health fanatics, and bodybuilders alike are always looking for the best ways to approach their diet and nutrition. And so there is a tendency to pit one food item against another, in an effort to find out which one is the best for providing specific nutrients. In fact, that is exactly what we’re going to do today: we are going to compare and contrast chicken and beef. Which one is better for bodybuilders? Which one is better for gaining muscle? Which can help you prevent getting fat? There’s only one way to find out.  

Chicken vs. Beef

Chicken recipes are known for being easily digestible. This is good because protein is easily absorbed if the source is easy to break down. Beef dishes are usually a bit tougher to digest, but there are other factors that make it a great choice of protein source. You see, both chicken and beef can help you gain muscle without getting fat. And they each come with certain benefits (and disadvantages) that can affect your training performance. For example, chicken acts as an energy booster even without significant levels of carbohydrates. Bodybuilders who want to maintain their lean body choose chicken for their daily diet plan. Beef isn’t a good choice for those who want to attain and maintain a lean body. However, it has great levels of creatine and carbohydrates, making it a great choice for those who want to bulk up. They can become beefed up (pun intended). Creatine also aids in red blood cell production, allowing easier production of lean muscle tissue. If you have a hard time building muscle, beef is the right choice for you. Do take note that too much beef can make your face look puffed because creatine also causes water retention. If you choose grass-fed beef, you can avoid this effect. Other points of comparison include amount of calories. Eight ounces of chicken contains 273 calories. Eight ounces of beef contains 349 calories. The saturated fat in beef is higher than that of chicken’s. The amount of saturated fat in chicken, considering it has 6g of fat, is only 2g. On the other hand, 7g of fat found in beef is saturated. Chicken does have a disadvantage in terms of cholesterol levels, as it is higher than beef. Cholesterol levels in chicken are 140mg, whereas beef contains merely 113mg. Beef also has a much higher potassium level. Chicken only has 423 mg of potassium, while beef has 828 mg in 8 ounces.  

The Verdict

As you can see, both sources of protein have their own advantages and disadvantages. While grass-fed beef may help you gain more muscle quickly, chicken is less likely to make you fat. But of course, a healthy diet doesn’t have to rely on only one food source in order to work consistently. So there is no stopping you from including both protein sources into your diet regimen. As long as you work hard and train well, you can achieve a very fit body, and it doesn’t matter which protein source you eat as long as you maintain a healthy diet.
