"Just to make this clear, I am saying here that a piece of chicken is like a cookie: they are both foods without a significant antioxidant or phytochemical load. Both animal products and processed foods lack these immunity-supporting nutrients. The more phytochemically deficient foods we eat, the weaker our immunity and the higher our risk of getting sick and possibly developing cancer. The various low-fat diet trends of egg whites, white meats, and pasta are actually immune system-destructive and cancer-causing for various reasons, primarily because of the aforementioned lack of protective phytochemicals..."

If that's all you eat of course. Eating those things in addition to enough veggies and fruits isn't a bad thing. It's all about moderation and getting a good balance. You eat 2500 calories of chicken and egg whites only, you are going to create problems for your self. You eat egg whites and chicken with a healthy mixture of fruits, veggies, etc. You'll be fine. My opinion.
