[26] For hens used in egg production in the US, as of 2011 the FCR was about 2, with each hen laying about 330 eggs per year. [25]
Calorie counts on labels are permitted to have a 20% swing. It’s important to remember that the Percent Daily Values on the Nutrition Facts Panel is based upon a 2,000-calorie diet.
In the U.S., the average feed conversion ratio (FCR) of a broiler was 1.91 kilograms of feed per kilograms of liveweight in 2011, an improvement from 4.70 in 1925. [18] Canada has a typical FCR of 1.72. [19] New Zealand commercial broiler farms have recorded the world's best broiler chicken FCR at 1.38. [20]
She recommends fueling up on ingredients like a 3-ounce lean hamburger (21 grams of protein), a chicken breast (30 grams), an egg (6 grams), 1 ounce of cheese (7 grams), and a cup of milk (8 grams).
