What food group is chicken and rice in?

[Joseez]

Hello all , I've been wondering about the food groups for chicken and rice. Chicken falls under proteins, right? And rice, that's in grains? Just looking to confirm my understanding and see if there's more to it. Always aiming for balanced meals, so getting this right matters to me. Thoughts or corrections?

In my opinion, chicken is categorized as a protein, aiding in muscle repair, while rice is considered a grain, a source of carbohydrates for energy. Although they're often seen together in meals, they come from different food groups.

From what I've learned, chicken typically fits into the protein category, while rice is often considered a grain. Though, they combine deliciously regardless of their food group labels haha

Chicken and rice fall into multiple food groups: chicken is a protein, and rice is a grain. So, it's a balanced meal offering both protein and carbohydrates!
