Why
- 1.9 g protein per 100 kcal (low; chicken breast is about 22, plain rice about 2).
- 578 kcal a serving is 21% of a 2,800 kcal bulking day, and 11 g is 8% of 140 g protein.
- Fat gives 43% of its calories, mostly from the cooking fat, so the recipe matters more than the dish.
- With 70 g carbs it is good fuel before or after training.
The portion to aim for
Even 1½ plate gives 16 g protein (867 kcal), so build the meal around another protein food.
