Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with high blood lipid levels can eat chicken. They should choose low-fat cuts, such as chicken breast, to reduce fat intake. Chicken should be thoroughly cooked before consumption to minimize oil intake. Generally, patients should not consume more than 150 grams of chicken per serving. It is advisable to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits along with chicken to increase dietary fiber intake and promote fat elimination. If any discomfort occurs after eating chicken, patients should seek medical attention immediately.
