Chicken breast is about 110, thighs are up to 170, beef and pork are up to 260. While white bread is about 350 and more for specific variations. Furthermore, bread is carbs which is essentially an energy source, while meat is protein, which is needed for muscle growth and maintanance basically. Judjung by Doss's physique he doesn't need much protein a day, and the amount he needs he can easily get while consuming products other than meat. Though, it is a tough life without meat. I personaly consume daily about 700-800g of pure chicken breasts.

And that medic is going to put down his gun to treat that guy which could take hours to do properly, and minute after minute more men will be getting hurt.
