Many women with PCOS who are watching their weight choose white meat because of its lower calorie content, though the difference with dark meat is, in fact, minuscule.
Â
According to the Department of Agriculture, an ounce of boneless, skinless turkey breast, for example, contains about 46 calories and 1 gram of fat, compared with roughly 50 calories and 2 grams of fat for an ounce of boneless, skinless thigh.
Â
It is true that dark meat contains saturated fat. But there are also healthy fats in the dark variety, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Compared with white meat, dark also contains more iron, zinc, riboflavin, thiamine and vitamins B6 and B12.
Â
Both white and dark have less fat than most cuts of red meat, however, so you can’t really go wrong with the former, provided you eat only moderate amounts.
