    The difference between chicken and an egg
    I love chicken and a friend of mine loves eggs... He always tells me that it is basically the same thing because an egg is actually chicken too... Could you please break this down for me?

    The difference between a chicken and an egg is that the chicken is hatched and the egg is laid. Jk. Ok, I assume you actually want a sincere answer. The chicken is meat with protein and the egg is a chicken byproduct with protein. An egg can become a chicken if the egg is fertile, but a chicken cannot become an egg. <<(humor.) They are only the same in some respects to nutritional value as they are both in the same food group. :-)

    Refer to my charts, they have almost nothing in common in Nutritional value.

    My point has been they have protein in common which is essential to nutritional well-being and health. I wrote prior, "They are [only the same in some respects] to nutritional value as they are both in the same food group."

    Fr_Chuck, My question to you is, If they do not have a nutritional commonality why are they in the same food group?
