First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Chicken | Soybeans |
| Nutrient | chicken | soybeans |
| Protein | 20g | 18g |
| Carbohydrate | 0g | 15g |
| Fiber | 0g | 6g |
| Fat | 13g | 9g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 5g | 9g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 3g | 4g |
| Saturated Fat | 4g | 1g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | chicken | soybeans |
| Choline | 12% | 0% |
| Vitamin A | 6% | 2% |
| Vitamin C | 0% | 53% |
| Vitamin E | 2% | 0% |
| Vitamin K | 4% | 0% |
Soybeans have significantly more Vitamins C than chicken. Chicken are a good source of Vitamin B6, Zinc, Phosphorus. Chicken are a great source of Niacin. Soybeans are a good source of Riboflavin, Potassium, Magnesium. Soybeans are a great source of Vitamin C, Thiamin, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | chicken | soybeans |
| Vitamin B1 | 5% | 59% |
| Vitamin B2 | 16% | 22% |
| Vitamin B3 | 43% | 19% |
| Vitamin B5 | 18% | 4% |
| Vitamin B6 | 23% | 8% |
| Vitamin B12 | 12% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | chicken | soybeans |
| Sodium | 5% | 1% |
| Potasium | 5% | 24% |
| Calcium | 2% | 54% |
| Magnesium | 5% | 25% |
| Phosphorus | 24% | 46% |
| Iron | 18% | 80% |
| Manganese | 1% | 32% |
| Selenium | 35% | 5% |
| Copper | 6% | 17% |
| Zinc | 20% | 14% |
