This entry describes roasted chicken light meat, using data from fresh and frozen samples. It mainly provides protein, with some fat, as well as B vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 30g of protein, 3.6g of fat, 1g of saturated fat and 645 kJ of energy.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscle. Chicken light meat also provides niacin, which helps the body release energy from food. Added salt, sauces and cooking fats can change the salt, fat and energy content of a meal, so preparation matters when comparing these values. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
