Can i eat chicken leg steak/chicken leg instead of chicken breast?

Question

dose chicken leg/chicken leg steak has the same amount of protein as chicken breast please?and if i throw the skin will it has less fat?i'm 18 now and i been eating at least 2 can tuna (1 can=185g)for almost 4 months now ,and then yeaterday i finally got the information that tuna has mercury in it and it's bad for you so i should eat it only twice a week,so now i 'm really confused.I feel very good with eating tuna and i 'm starting to look pretty bulky now(i'm 188 cm tall).so should i cut down a little bit on can tuna?and what should i eat instead.i know chicken breast has a lot of protein but it's hard to find near where i live.i don't suppose i should buy the whole chicken just for the chicken breast part?so can i eat chicken leg please?or some other stuff like lean beef ?

Answer 1

Yes there is some mercury in tuna but it isn't a big deal to have a can a day.  Just make sure you buy the chunk light.  Chunk light has a lot less mercury than the normal kind.  Any part of a chicken will be a good choice as long as your not eating the skin.  Chicken is very lean, turkey is also another good choice.

Answer 2

Don't eat chicken or tuna at all if you want to lose weight! Also think of the animals which died for your food.
