Is there really that much of a difference?
I eat 3-4 oz every meal and would like to stick with chicken thighs if I can

nutritionally, the difference is in the fat content..Originally Posted by superbaby1
i.e. 100g chicken breast ~4 grams fat
100g chicken thigh ~11g fatLast edited by tabasco.sauce; 12-23-2009 at 07:38 PM.

Eat which ever one you enjoy more, just consider the differences in your daily needs.

Disadvantage of thigh:Originally Posted by superbaby1
More fat than breast
Advantage of thigh:
Cheaper than breast
Tastes better than breast
The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion. I like to go for thighs.

Go the thighs, they taste better, and there's nothing wrong with a moderated amount of animal fat.

go with the chicken breasts, at least IMO (the only one here probably) they taste better. am I alone in this.
If you like the taste of thighs then get them as they are cheaper and MOST people like them more than the breasts

Eat anything you want as long as it fits into your caloric wants and needs.

Chicken thighs ROCK!!!!
Also, for the men, chicken thighs help increase T-levels b/c of the fat content!^^Former 300+lb Crew^^

I've always been more of a leg man than a breast man...
No really, IMO either one is fine, as said just do what you prefer as long as it fits into your calorie/macro requirements.
