Nutritional Values per 100g
Standard Serving
100g gătit contains 135 calories.
Best time: Lunch or dinner, or as a high-protein post-workout meal
Benefits
- ✓One of the leanest animal protein sources - 30g of protein for just 1g of fat, an ideal ratio for muscle definition
- ✓Complete protein with a superior amino acid profile, rich in leucine that triggers muscle protein synthesis
- ✓Low in saturated fat and cholesterol compared to red meat - friendly to cardiovascular health
- ✓Good source of selenium, zinc, phosphorus, and B vitamins (B3, B6) that support energy metabolism
- ✓Very filling thanks to its high protein density - helps control appetite in a caloric deficit
Considerations
- !Skinless cooked breast has the fewest calories; the skin adds fat and roughly doubles the calorie intake
- !Turkey deli meats (ham, salami) are processed, high in sodium and nitrates - prefer fresh uncooked meat
- !Prolonged cooking at high temperatures dries the meat and forms heterocyclic compounds - prefer oven, boiling, or pan-cooking over medium heat
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends turkey breast as a lean alternative to chicken breast, ideal during cutting phases when every gram of fat counts. A 150g portion delivers nearly 45g of protein at under 200 kcal. Marinate it with lemon, garlic, and herbs and bake it to keep it juicy without added fat.
