Is chicken fried rice good for a gym diet?
It has some protein (4.2 g per 100 calories), but not enough to lean on. Pair it with chicken, fish or eggs to fill the gap.
Most of its calories come from carbs (64%), then fat (19%) and protein (17%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 1.5 cups (about 590 calories). The same 25 g from chicken breast is about 130 calories.
