I plan to keep eating only chicken breast for dieting. What meal composition is more appropriate?

Chicken breast provides protein, but eating only it long term can overlook nutrition variety and digestive burden. Combine carbohydrates, fats, and vegetables according to health and activity.

Chicken breast is low in fat and high in protein, making preparation and protein intake convenient. Repeating one food can reduce fiber, fat, and micronutrients, so include vegetables and suitable carbohydrates and fats.

Korean medicine may interpret digestive and energy decline as spleen qi deficiency (脾虛), and considers excessive high-protein eating burdensome when digestion is weak. Phlegm-fluid retention (痰飮) is another reference for heaviness or fluid retention.

Check activity, bowel movements, digestion, and sustainability rather than weight goals alone. If abdominal pain, constipation, fatigue, an existing condition, or medicines are present, do not restrict further; adjust balance with a clinician.
