Chicken Calories

December 4, 2008

Chicken Calories

Chicken calories are easily added to most diets. So if you like chicken, this is your lucky day! Chicken calories are also a healthier choice than other types of meat. So both healthier and tasty, chicken calories are the way to go!

Chicken Calories – The Skin

The skin of a chicken is very high in fat and with the fat come more and more chicken calories.  If you are watching your weight, it is always a good recommendation to remove the skin and lower the amount of chicken calories you consume.

You realize how significant the skin (from a chicken calories point of view) when you read the numbers: 60 chicken calories difference in 3.5oz of chicken breast and 180 chicken calories difference in 3.5oz of chicken back! So off with the skin!

Chicken Calories – The Parts

Chicken parts can vary in all sorts of ways: size, meat vs bone content, fat and of course chicken calories. If you are looking for low chicken calories parts, recommended ones would be chicken breast, chicken drumstick or chicken thighs. You can see for yourself how less fat and less calories they have compared to other parts (for 3.5oz of chicken without/with skin):

Chicken Calories

Another good tip about lowering the chicken calories would be to avoid frying the chicken in oil. Stick to boiling or grilling and you’ll be just fine. Lucky for us, chicken can be tender and delicious and much as it can be low in chicken calories. Bon Appetite!
