When You Eat Chicken Every Day, This Is What Happens To Your Body

We've already touched on some of the nutrients in chicken, like protein, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B12. According to Healthline, chicken breast also contains about half of your daily niacin, a third of the selenium you need, as well as phosphorus, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine, potassium, and copper.

While those nutrients are definitely needed, make sure you eat more than just chicken every day, said registered dietitian Lauren Manaker. "If you are eating chicken every single day, you may not be eating other protein sources like seafood, beans, legumes, and other options that offer unique benefits that chicken doesn't have," she wrote in an article for Eat This, Not That! "Eating chicken isn't a bad thing, as long as you are eating a variety of other healthy foods to prevent nutrient gaps over the long run."

And though protein is good for you, make sure you're not eating too much of it, as noted by registered dietitian Mary Wirtz. "Stick with four ounces cooked per meal, and load up on non-starchy veggies and a whole grain such as quinoa or brown rice to round out your meal," she told The List.
