    This morning I had 1 fried egg, but I fired it in Olive Oil. Because of Lent, I am not having anything with sugar in it, so there goes Cereal until Easter. And I need to head to the store and get me some Fruit and Veggies for Breakfast. Yes, i do believe it adds calories.

    Do yourself a favor, either bake it or don't eat it at all. Processed foods like the one you just mentioned - NO GOOD. It's time to start eating whole foods, not convenience ones. Frying shouldn't even be an option...

    Olive oil is good for you; don't be afraid to use it. I browned some ground buffalo in olive oil for lunch and added the 1 tablespoon to my lunch count.

    Yes, it will add calories. The 140 Calories is as the food stands right now. Untouched, however you prep the food, changes the calories(Unless you are just boiling it, or baking it plain, etc)

    If you are frying it in a pan with with oil, oil has calories. Why don't you bake it in the oven then you don't have to add calories?

    Yes...while certain oils like olive oil are very nutritionally good for you, they are also calorie dense. A mere Tbsp of olive oil has about 120 calories.

    This.

    And frying food on a night with a full moon actually deducts calories.

    I'm pretty sure she wasn't asking anyone whether or not she should eat it.

    If you blot it off or rinse it in water after you're golden, but not on Wednesdays. Wednesdays are just not THE day to be frying foods.

    Try Tuesday in the month of May... Must be a full moon. And always always add keytones.

    You are too young to remember this, but there used to be a tv ad where they would fry food and show how much oil had been absorbed.
    Oil adds calories, about 130 calories per tablespoon.

    I know this is going against the grain but if you are deep frying and can get that sucker up to just below smoking point flash fry it then oil absorbed will be somewhat less than if you fry it on low heat. There will still be oil absorbed but less than a low heated fry which means less calories.

    FYI the smoke point is dependent on the type of oil so if you are frying but figure about 360-400degs F.

    Frying also adds flavor said the duck fat to the potatoes. Being paranoid about cooking with fat is irrational and ED territory.
