    None of this makes sense, you have nothing to compare, they are both hypotheticals from places you that don't exist. So why don't you just find a place that has nutritional value for what you are looking for and compare those, because that is the closest you are going to get. You can't ask people to determine between to hypothetical foods for your health needs that you won’t tell people what they are.

    Which one fits your calories and macros better, and which one do you feel like eating? Those are the only questions you need to ask yourself.
    I feel like the best choice is to know which is unhealthy to humans so i can avoid it .

    That would depend greatly on the human. For someone allergic to dairy the cheese would unhealthy. For someone with certain gut issues fried anything (including chicken) can be unhealthy. There is no simple answer to your question.

    You probably won't find a human food that is unhealthy to humans. If it were unhealthy to humans in general it wouldn't be considered "food". What's healthy for humans is a balanced diet that meets your nutritional needs and doesn't aggravate your body. Only you have enough information to determine which of the foods mentioned best fits that description for you.
    Ok what about a healthy human being that has no problems but watching hisor her circulatory system.

    You still can't judge a food in isolation. It also depends on everything else you eat as well, plus how much you burn and what your body's nutrient and calorie needs are.

    Some days the burger will better fit your needs. Other days it may be the chicken.

    Better for what purpose?

    Nutritionists say it only takes one meal to do damage that is in high fat..

    What nutritionists are you referring to?

    And have "they" described what damage is caused by having something that is a little high in fat in one meal? Breading on chicken is not fatty, its carby, and beef, depending on leanness is not fatty either. But they are higher in calories especially when you add the breading, bun.. etc..

    If you want to avoid some fat in fried chicken, don;t fry it..Dry fry it, or just use cooking spray. .

    You are never gonna get an answer that you agree with from us. You are using different definitions than we do for many things and are refusing to see the whole picture. Only you are going to be able to answer your own question.

    ^This. All food carries the risk of killing us eventually, even fruits & veggies. Eventually you have to decide which risks you choose to prioritize and which you feel you can safely ignore.

    The increase in cancer risks associated with processed meats take your risk level from something like 5% without processed meats to 6% with them in your diet. That's a risk I'm personally willing to ignore. But I can't make that decision for others.

    Screw it. Even if someone gives him a reasonable answer, he's just going to move the goalposts with more tangential criteria. Then later he's add some random crud he got from publix to confound even that answer. Then he'll just eat some cake between a couple slices of whole wheat, because that makes sense in his world.

    What the heck, I can't sleep anyway...

    OP, where are these hypothetical choices being made? Some places the fried chicken will be higher cals & fat, some places the burger will be.
    How many calories have you eaten so far today?
    How is your calorie balance for the week
    When was the last time you ate red meat?
    How many grams of saturated fat have you eaten today?
    How close are you to your sugar limit today?
    Is there an option to leave the cheese off the burger?
    Have you exercised or do you plan to exercise today?
    Do you have an increased genetic risk of heart disease?
    Are you prediabetic or diabetic?
    Are you doing low carb?
    Whether you are or not, how many grams of carbs have you had today?
    Do you have a taste preference for chicken or beef?
    How hungry are you?
    Do you have another meal planned for the day, or is this your last meal?
    Is the chicken regular breaded, or extra crispy? Is it lightly breaded or are there lots of clumps of breading?
    Can you tell which one is greasier when it is served?
    How about the salt factor - which is higher in sodium? Do you have high blood pressure?
    Do you have celiac?
    Does the burger bun have sesame or poppy seeds?
    Do you have any intestinal issues that seeds might bother?
    Does either come with a side dish? Do they come with the same side dish?
    Do they both cost the same?
    Are either of these foods a trigger food for you, for binging or some other disordered eating pattern?
    How often are these two your only option? In other words, is this an every day thing or a one time only proposition?
