Fried vs baked calories

prencesskl

Hey all! So I'm trying to figure out how to put in fried chicken vs baked chicken. For the chicken itself i plan on putting in the ingredients but I don't know how to account for it being fried... any ideas?

I've thought about this too (being from the south I eat too much fried food). I was thinking weight the oil before hand and after to see how much the chicken and flour adsorbed. Or maybe weigh the prepared chicken before hand and after. Any difference would be oil. Of course this assumes no flour fell off into the oil (which is obviously impossible).

Honestly, I just wouldn't do the fried chicken. Each tablespoon of oil has 120 calories. I haven't eaten fried food in a long time and I don't miss it!

just look for fried chicken in the database and I'm sure it will at least be close to what your having

I don't usually eat fried food, but b/f is from the south food style and loves everything fried so once and awhile I make him a treat, and I don't do 2 meals lol
