Is this a healthy way to eat chicken?

[BryUgalde]

Hey guys I really need to know if this is an okay way to be cooking my chicken when I am trying to lose fat.

I first put my pan on the stove and set the stove to medium, then I add vegetable oil. I then bread my chicken with 1/3 of a cup of breading, which comes to about 110 calories and 20 carbs. Then I put the chicken in the pan until its nice and crispy. I then eat it with either ketchup, bbq sauce, or hot sauce.

I guess my main question is does frying them in vegetable oil make them fattening?

You need to learn the basics about nutrition. Start by reading:

I've read those. It just seems weird that frying chicken can be okay, when your whole life you've been told to not fry foods. All the things I put into cooking them makes them like 600 calories. I just kind of wanted clarity that frying chicken was okay.

srs. Yes you can eat it. "healthy" is such a relative term when describing food. I think you had better re-read the stickies.

I understand your concern, but if cooked correctly it will not be a problem. Limit synthetic Trans fat by not exceeding the oil's smoke point.

Nutritionally speaking, frying anything isn't that good for you, takes away from the nutritional value. However, as others have said, if it fits into your goals/macros, that's another story.
