Another staple protein source available at Costco is chicken. Among chicken cuts, breasts typically provide the highest protein density, delivering approximately 26 grams of protein per 3 ounces compared to 21 grams for skinless, boneless chicken thighs. While thighs offer slightly less protein, they are celebrated for their flavor and tender texture thanks to their fat content.
Both chicken breasts and thighs are excellent choices for protein seekers, particularly because they stimulate the GLP-1 hormone and provide lasting satiety. Planning meals around chicken is an effective strategy for ensuring sufficient protein intake.
