% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Chicken drumstick meat, as a darker cut of poultry, provides lean protein and essential amino acids that support bone and muscle health, though it contains more calories, total fat, and saturated fat compared to lighter cuts like the breast. Consuming lean, unprocessed chicken as a primary protein source may have beneficial or neutral effects on cardiovascular risk and body weight, according to Healthline, by promoting satiety. However, observational evidence suggests that diets high in chicken may be associated with elevated LDL cholesterol levels when compared to non-meat protein sources, and processing methods, particularly heat treatments like frying, can influence poultry meat's nutritional value and fatty acid composition.
