📏 Moderate Animal Protein
Chicken thigh contains animal protein (about 20g per 100g). The AUA recommends limiting non-dairy animal protein to 3 oz (palm-sized) per meal. Reference guide, not an official standard.
How the form changes the number: preparation is the real variable across this family. Boiling leaches a meaningful share of soluble oxalate into the cooking water — commonly 30-50% for plant foods — while raw and dry-heat forms keep essentially all of it, so the same base food can land in different brackets depending on how it is cooked. This page tracks Chicken thigh (Roasted) at 0 mg per serving, in line with the rest of the family. Related forms in this family: Chicken thigh (Skinless) (0 mg).
