The chicken contains twice as much, for not far off 50% less calories. Add in the fact that the chicken will probably also make you feel fuller for longer - chicken is near enough 0% carbs, versus the pastas 25% carbs, makes eating a chicken breast seem like a more logical choice than a bowl full of pasta to me.
You'd need to eat a hell of a lot of potatoes to get a decent quantity of protein and don't even start me on the modern monstrosity that is cereal.
Most of the protein in the pasta comes from animals anyway...a key ingredient being egg, after all.
- copergi 13y agoI'm confused as to what point you are trying to make. You demonstrated that my statement was accurate, then made a non-sequitur statement about satiety that is incorrect. You would need to eat an adequate amount of calories in potato to get an adequate amount of protein from potato. 26x77=2000 kcal. 26x2=52g protein. Pasta gets most of its protein from wheat. It typically does not contain eggs at all. Pasta made with eggs is specifically called "egg noodles" for a reason.
