Why
- 6.8 g protein per 100 kcal (moderate; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
- 194 kcal a serving is 7% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 13 g is 9% of 140 g protein.
- Fat gives 70% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.
The portion to aim for
Even 3 eggs gives 20 g protein (291 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
