Dr. Carlos Satulovsky answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

How big?: What size? It depends on many factors, but roughly, chicken breast is a 30% protein (30 gram protein per 100 grams of chicken breast); whereas beef (lean and depending on the cut, cooking method, and other variables) around 25 % protein.
