Pan-fryed chicken breast, how much fat?

[Kaban01]

Hi, I need to know how much fat comes out when I pan fry my chicken breasts

I pan fry about 1.5lb of chicken breast with about 2 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil (~7-9 mins each side) with a covered top
I then divide em into 4meals 4oz each (tottal 1.5lb comes out to about 16oz)
I assume some oil absorbs into the chicken, my question is how much exact or approx so I can fix my diet calculation
I need about 14g fat per meal, if I am not getting enough fat from that than what can I add to my meal that is easy/cheap?

Olive oil is 13.5g fat per tbspn

I use pam and apparently it's only 1 calorie (though I don't know if I trust it).

I use www.sparkpeople.com to track my meals.
And Pam contains 1 calories per 1.5 second spray. I saw it on "Good Eats" on Food Network.

Meat doesn't absorb fat when cooked. If your consuming all the fat added to the pan, then add them, if not take a guess how much is left.

Yeah Pam still has just as many calories as any old oil, it's just that because it's in a spray you use a LOT less then you normally would. Don't fret over the Pam, as for the chicken, take the skin off to remove most of the fat and you'll be fine

The chicken breast would be breaded if it were pan-fried, meaning that some fat would be absorbed regardless.

In any event, there are a bajillion different variables to consider: how deep the oil is in the pan (pan-fry usually calls for 1/3rd or 1/2 the chicken to be covered in fat, not likely to be the case here, either), how hot the oil is, etc.

We are discussing a difference of maybe 100 calories, perhaps even less. I really don't think it's worth obsessing over. If you are looking to add fat to your meals, there's a ton of ways. Avocadoes, chopped nuts, more vegetable oils, blah blah blah.

pam has the same amount of calories as any regular oil ? is this true ?

Where does the OP say it's breaded and assuming such a thing is nuts? And no you don't have to have 1/2 the chicken covered in fat..........Oly ****.

I measured my body fat yesterday, and it went down from 7.7% to 6.6%
so it looks like i've lost 5lb of bf and gain 5lb of muscle

SO i guess i need to add more to my diet, I started eating 1tablespoon of natural pnut butter after each meal, so we'll see if that helps
