WHITE MEAT VS. DARK MEAT

While it's true that dark meat does contain more calories and fat than white meat, the difference is very small. Here are the facts: An ounce of roasted, skinless white meat turkey breast contains 44 calories and 1 gram of fat. And an ounce of roasted, skinless dark meat turkey (which is also moister and higher in iron) contains 52 calories and 2 grams of fat. So the difference between the two in a typical six-ounce serving of turkey comes to under 50 calories. Not a big price to pay if you really like dark meat.
