Worst: Fried Chicken
Sure, chicken is a lean source of protein. But this version is coated with breading and fried in oil. The result: Each piece packs in more calories and fat than a typical cheeseburger. Plus, a diet high in the greasy stuff can take a toll on your health. Research shows that eating fried food 4 to 6 times a week can raise your risk of heart disease by 23% and type 2 diabetes by 39%.
