Boiled, Fried, or Crispy Chicken: Which Fits Your Macros?

Which one are you choosing? 🤨

How you prepare your food and what you add to it makes a big difference in the calories and macros of the final product. So choose wisely!

👉 For example, 100 grams of raw chicken cooked in water will keep its original nutritional value. The weight will drop a bit (you’ll end up with roughly 75 g cooked), but the protein stays the same.

However, if you fry those 100 grams of chicken with oil, the oil’s calories and fats get added to the total.

And if you go for crispy fried chicken from a fast-food place, things change even more. The breading and frying process skyrocket the calories, fats, and carbs. Why? Because the coating takes up part of the weight that was previously just chicken—meaning less protein per serving.

✔️ At the end of the day, what truly matters is your total calorie and nutrient intake. Take a step back and evaluate your options to make choices that align with your goals and improve your health.
