Hi...I;m trying to lose weight...and I;ve been eating alot healthier, but when I eat chicken, i dont grill it. for some reasons, 1 because im 13 and cant work a grill for nothing in the world 2 and if i could work a grill, i am too lazy to get up and stand at a grill...
3 the grill we have is outside and is meant to be used outside, and i still dnt wanna stand there, burning myself, and waiting so long, im 13 and i am usualy the one who cooks dinner for my family.i dont have a mom who does it. so if i could just cook for myself on an easy grill i would do it. but that would be rude and selfish, so i only bake the chicken, is this ruining my diet? if it is, how can i make it betteer for me without grilling it?
Answer:
Baking is as healthy as grilling the chicken. However, don't over baked the chicken, because anything that is over cooked will lose its nutrients and the only thing that you are eating if it is overbaked is just junk. Also, don't add any butter or anything else that is high in sodium, because it will ruined your body by losing water.
When baking chicken, makes sure that you have the fat trimmed, but don't trim all the fat! Why? Because the fat also acts as flavoring and liquid for the chicken. If you trim all the fat out, the chiken will surely became dry when baked and it will have a bland taste. So, little fat is okay, just in moderation.
it is not the baking that is a problem.frying it would be.so long as you make sure the cuts of chicken are lean to begin with (trim off ALL the fat) then you shouldn't worry.
Baked i just as healthy, if not healthier, than grilling, provided you don't coat it in any oils.
Smart question for someone so young. You should be proud that you are helping your family by being concerned about the health of the food your cooking. Baking is one of the most healthy ways you can cook. Baking does not require you to use butters or oils as you would need if you were frying or sauteing. Don't feel bad about baking at all; you're doing just fine. You can mix up the dishes pretty easily also, just so you don't get tired of the same thing all the time. Oh, and you can bake anything including beef, fish and pork in addition to the chicken. Good luck and healthy eating! Also, if you are trying to lose weight you will need to incorporate some form of excercise and avoid junk food also.
NO. Just remove the skin.
