Would you consider home made grilled chicken wings bad for you?

[chelle21689]

If you were to buy chicken wings and do a dry rub spice on them then bake it, would it be considered unhealthy? I searched the forums and had people swear they ate grilled wings and it's "bad" fat and they gained more fat....not sure if they even did IIFYM. It seems to get a bad rep but I love wings especially filipino Adobo chicken wings.

[AncientYouth]

no, IIFYM

Chicken breast chopped into 1x1 cubes,
Lightly bread in choice of flour, s&p, chilli powder, garlic powder,
Lightly pan fry in olive oil

One of my favorite meals.

I would consider crack ******* to be bad for you, but chicken wings? No.

If someone can tell they gained fat from eating a meal of chicken wings then I say they are misguided, paranoid, or outright crazy. The only thing is is figuring out how many calories you are eating with whole chicken wings is going to be more guesswork than dealing with something like chicken breast (and they will be much more calorie dense, obviously).

And the only real "bad fat" these days is trans fat, saturated fat isn't the demon it was once thought to be.

There is no such thing as a "dirty" or unhealthy food.

Every breath takes you closer to your death, so some might consider breathing bad for you.

The only problem is the fats cause it to be calorie dense.

That recipe, tossed in some wing sauce sounds freakin' amazing. Throw in some air fried potatoes (thank u nuwave oven) and that sounds like a "guy meal". A "football game" meal.

Hmmm

I think I just found dinner for today.

You need some fats. Just balance it with your omega 3s and you'll be fine. Calories and macros are what is important. What you eat is significantly less important.

[Retoaded]

3,000 calories worth of chicken wings on a 1,500cal/day diet. yes bad for you.

1,000 calories worth of chicken wings on a 2,500cal/day diet. do it all the time.

[Serpentarius]

skinless chicken breast strips + dipped lightly in egg for batter + panko bread crumbs = da bomb
ranch dipping sauce too

[Tuksonrider]

Nothing wrong with it until you eat over your daily caloric intake. The "Fat" in the chicken wings don't make you fat. If that were true, I'd eat 6000 calories a day of boneless skinless chicken meat and not worry about ever getting fat.

[chelle21689]

I know they're high in calories but I don't see it being that unhealthy in moderation lol. I don't eat "junk", normally I'd eat things like pad thai, curry, pho, etc. that the fitness world would deem "unlcean" although it has a lot of nutrients but a lot of calories along with it.

Unless you're making a career outta bodybuilding, having a plate of wings, a few adult beverages or a handful of oreos now and then isn't going to throw your life into a spiral down the bowl.

Take the fun outta life and eventually you take the life outta fun . . . don't become that person!

You need 4.2oz boiled chicken, 1/3 cup broccoli and 456 grains of brown rice 6x a day with 7.3 oz of water each meal with a multi vitamin in the morning, don't take the vitamin or eat brown rice after 7pm though, because it will go straight to your butt and the vitamins will become fat and not hair or w/e. Also, if you don't cube the chicken your stomach works harder to digest it and it can't get all the protein and keep in mind that all sauces are really high in sodium so none of those. As for the broccoli I found steaming it takes out all the fat which will result in a bigger belly, so if you don't steam it do more crunches for the tummy fat. Remember to do the crunches within 30minutes of eating or it's too late! Good luck, hope I helped!



cliffs: Eat the damn wings.

Relax. Sure the skin and sauce may be a bit caloric/fatty but the intrinsic flavor and enjoyment you get out of is well worth it.
