Which part of chicken to choose?

People always like to ask me this question.   Honestly, I love the ribs and chicken wings. Hahaha.   When I compare the nutrient contents for the different parts of chicken, I will prefer to use household measurement rather than 100g.  Coz, nobody will eat 200g of wings, right?

Nutrients contents:
Chicken breast meat:
Weight:132g (1 piece)
Calories: 198kcal
Fat:10.2g
Protein:24.2g
Carbohydrate:2.4g



Chicken thigh:
Weight:125g (1 small)
Calories: 215kcal
Fat:16.5g
Protein:16.6g
Carbohydrate:1.2g


Chicken wings:
Weight:170g (2 small)
Calories: 172kcal
Fat:13.2g
Protein:13g
Carbohydrate:0g


Chicken feets:
Weight:154g (10 feets, deboned)
Calories: 178kcal
Fat:9.8g
Protein:22.6g
Carbohydrate:0g


Summary:
If I am to compare per 100g, then chicken wings and thigh are higher in fats which is two times the breast meat. Breast meat has the lowest calories of all other parts. So, make your wise choice.
