Raw Animal Proteins Minimal in Sodium Milligrams

It's not the lean meat that's the culprit for salt and calories, rather what we roll it into, what we dip it into while cooking and what we put on it after it has been cooked.

For example, one raw chicken breast contains about 65 milligrams of salt. An 'Extra Crispy KFC Chicken Breast' contains over 1100 milligrams.
