Chicken is a moderate-purine food, which means it can contribute to uric acid production in the body. However, the impact is relatively mild compared to high-purine foods like organ meats, seafood, and beer.
To put things into perspective:
- 3 ounces (85g) of cooked chicken contain about 150-200 mg of purines.
- The recommended daily purine intake for individuals with gout or high uric acid is around 100-150 mg.
If you're concerned about uric acid, consider these tips:
1. *Moderation is key*: Enjoy chicken in moderation (1-2 servings a week).
2. *Balance your diet*: Pair chicken with low-purine foods like vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.
3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid.
You don't necessarily need to stop eating chicken entirely, Manas. Just be mindful of your overall diet and purine intake.
