10. Fried Chicken
Chicken is undoubtedly one of the best foods that are rich in proteins and useful when trying to lose weight, but only if you grill it instead of frying it. Leaving the skin on and dropping it into the fryer somewhat destroys its nutritional value.
To break it down, one chicken thigh fried in batter packs 144 calories and 8.6 grams of fat. A chicken thigh fried in a flour coating contains even more — 162 calories and 9.3 grams of fat. Similarly, one boneless, skinless chicken wing (21 grams) has 43 calories and 1.7 grams of fat.
So, if you’re trying to go for a super-lean meal, skinless chicken is better. Grill some vegetables alongside your chicken for a very healthy meal.
