There are these chicken bites that advertise “high in protein!” on the pack, then you look and see it’s 9 grams…

Like, how do you make chicken bites have only 9 grams of protein??

They’re actively trying to remove protein from the chicken to make it that low.

Moat likely it is either breading or fillers that means there is less chicken than you would expect.

I haven't seen a moat in at least the past 100 years, so I'd say no, moat not likely.

This is a you problem pal. I personally have a moat defense system installed around my home and also around each individual room within the home with draw bridges for isolation in case of emergency. Safety is just common sense.

breading

Well, you won't get that number by using a wheat-based filling either.

Easy, 5% chicken and the 95% is bread and other garbage. There is "chicken" in there somewhere

It's probably ground up tendons and shit. Technically chicken but not protein.

More honest answer, it's generally breast meat but loaded up with binding agents, salt, and water. It's pretty obvious with the worse ones when you even slightly overcook them, and the chicken practically vanishes from inside the nugget because the water has evaporated.

Probably even literal shit. LMFAO

You'd be better off with falafel bites at that rate

What is the serving size?
Without knowing that, it's impossible to make a judgment about how "high" the protein is.

OC is probably from an EU county where everything has to normalized to p. 100g because everything else is just insane.

It's not actual chicken, that's how.
