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.
| Mushrooms | Chicken |
| Nutrient | mushrooms | chicken |
| Protein | 16g | 20g |
| Carbohydrate | 38g | 0g |
| Fiber | 16g | 0g |
| Fat | 3g | 13g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 13g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 1g | 3g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 4g |
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 | mushrooms | chicken |
| Choline | 34% | 12% |
| Vitamin A | 0% | 6% |
| Vitamin C | 38% | 0% |
| Vitamin E | 1% | 2% |
| Vitamin K | 0% | 4% |
Mushrooms have significantly more Vitamins C than chicken. Chicken have significantly more Vitamins A than mushrooms. Mushrooms are a good source of Vitamin C, Magnesium. Mushrooms are a great source of Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Zinc. Mushrooms are an excellent source of Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, Iron. Chicken are a good source of Vitamin B6, Zinc, Phosphorus. Chicken are a great source of Niacin.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | mushrooms | chicken |
| Vitamin B1 | 52% | 5% |
| Vitamin B2 | 195% | 16% |
| Vitamin B3 | 266% | 43% |
| Vitamin B5 | 309% | 18% |
| Vitamin B6 | 62% | 23% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 12% |
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 | mushrooms | chicken |
| Sodium | 1% | 5% |
| Potasium | 73% | 5% |
| Calcium | 9% | 2% |
| Magnesium | 24% | 5% |
| Phosphorus | 107% | 24% |
| Iron | 207% | 18% |
| Manganese | 36% | 1% |
| Selenium | 189% | 35% |
| Copper | 360% | 6% |
| Zinc | 66% | 20% |
