Among those following the high-protein, low-carbohydrate approach to dieting, twice as many people report eating more chicken than eating more beef, and pork comes in third among the major meats, according to the survey.
“Chicken is a much bigger winner from low-carb diets than commonly realised,” said Paul Prekopa of PKS Research Partners, adding that chicken benefits from its low-fat reputation as well.
