Which is more healthy.. 1lb cooked chicken, or 1lb cooked beef?

How about 1/4 lb chicken breast (cooked in some kind of sauce, lemon pepper, soy, etc)
compared to 1/4lb 7% fat ground beef patty

Your body can't digest fat, it just excretes it later. That's the main tenet of the Atkins diet - reduce complex carbohydrate intake to almost nothing and replace it with protein.

How do you think weight loss occurs in the Atkins diet? The body digests its internal stores of fat by breaking it down into carbohydates.

There are fats that the body can't digest, like Olestra, but those aren't naturally occurring.
 
hmm chicken.

but a pound of it? sheesh
granted i can go through a pound of chicken wings 😀
but then there is a huge pile of bones.


 
Boiled chicken without the skin is the best for you. There is a lot of fat in chicken (with the skin), though it's not as bad as beef.
