It is packed with lean protein and even the dark meat is full of nutrients like iron, zinc and B vitamins. A six ounce portion of white meat has 48 grams of protein and only 240 calories (dark meat has a little more calories but more essential nutrients). Healthy adults should consume about half of their body weight in protein a day and adults trying to build a lot of muscle should consume about one to one and a half times their body weight in protein.
