    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 forgot about saturated fat.

    What about it?

    The chicken thigh, with skin, has about 5.6 g. Without, 2.7 g.

    The burger, if you choose 93% lean, has about 3.25 g.

    I think you can survive either.

    Even if you go over the AHA's recommended 5-6% of total calories from sat fat on a particular day, I think you will be okay.

    I so don't understand thinking that eating one meal that might be high in sat fat will be terrible AND posing a choice between a restaurant cheeseburger and restaurant fried chicken. If you want to worry about what nutritionists would think about every single meal, why not choose between (1) a skinless, boneless chicken breast with broccoli and some brown rice; (2) salmon, on a bed of kale and quinoa; or (3) a vegetarian chili made from black beans and sweet potato with a mix of vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, and summer squash.

    I mean, while I could enjoy all three of those options (well, if you prepared the chicken in some decent way), I can see occasionally preferring the fried chicken or the burger. But if so, the consideration (other than calories and what else you are eating that day) really ought to be "what am I in the mood for?".

    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.

    What Dianne said is from that study. it shows if you eat bacon every day your risk of colorectal cancer goes from 5% to 6% so not significant at all. The media blew it out of proportion.

    Neither ground beef or a chicken thigh of the sort you fry is normally considered processed meat. Are you getting bacon on the burger?

    Well, that's part of the analysis to see if bacon on the burger can fit. I was just trying to figure out why he was talking about processed meat at all.

    Just eat the *kitten* donut fried chicken cheeseburger.

    "donut fried chicken cheeseburger y or n"

    Maybe when fair comes in. But it still is process meat.

    I'm curious, if you consider chicken and ground beef "processed meat" what type of meat do you considered not processed?

    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.

    Just did, I'm sorry the words don't make sense to you.

    Have you gone back and read your words? They don't really work well together.

    The trolling is very strong in this one.

    1. The risk is 6% if you eat processed meat EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE
    2. I don't know where you got any of those numbers from but that's not how it works.
    3. Um obviously.

    I saw a new post last night via a different name than OP, but pretty much identical style, phrasing, grammar etc. I think there may have been a case of Mitosis so the Trolling can be doubled.
