Dark meat is yummiest for sure, but with more fat, calories and less protein.

I preffer dark meat, but I eat white as well.

 

[timt53]

I always eat both

 

[thornton]

Prefer white meat when 70% of the time and dark the other 30%

The only time I eat dark meat is when I roast a whole chicken. My father in law raises meat birds so I get those for free.

Dark meat poultry has about twice as much fat/sat. fat as white meat, but it's still not that much compared to other meats.

I don't mind eating the dark meat but I prefer the white meat. I really am bored and tired with chicken right now. Maybe I should try the dark meat for awhile just to mix it up a bit.

Both white and dark meat are valuable sources of protein, minerals and vitamins. Whether you should choose white or dark meat depends on your health history and goals, but first and foremost, on your taste preferences.
Dark meat is a better source of iron, a mineral that many of us are deficient in. Compared to white meat chicken, dark meat contains more zinc, selenium, and B vitamins: riboflavin, thiamine, vitamins B6 and B12.
On the other hand, white meat chicken is a better source of the B vitamin niacin and magnesium

Sometimes when comparing the prices, especially if the dark meat is on sale, I can't justify buy white meat.

The bigger difference is the amount of protein when compared to fat.
Calories per serving/ Protein G/ Carb G/ Fat G
Chicken breast, skinless---165/31/0/4
Chicken drumstick, 1 skinless--76/12/0/3
Chicken thigh, 1 skinless--108/14/0/6

I would eat more white meat solely because it provides more protein per 3.5 oz serving.

Same here

I will eat any part of the chicken as well as just about every game bird out there. I just tried chukars the other day and they were good. I'm not picky when it comes to birds or fish.

 

[Jonathon606]

I don't mind eating the dark meat but I prefer the white meat. But I just want to try mix white with dark. I bet it's great when I am bored. Ahhhhh

It all depends what my goals are. If it's for my post work out I'll go white/no skin. The leaner the protein the higher the insulin spike. Throughout the day I'm eating dark with the skin to control the insulin. Hope this makes sense.
