You're eating it for the protein (52g) and the taste. Not fair to compare a chicken breast to carrots in terms of nutrients. And the saturated fat isn't a big deal, that's the fuel your body uses when you're on the keto-diet, as I learned from my own switch to a keto-diet 4 years ago.
- erkkie 12y agoHow about the trans fats? edit: just realized there's supposedly no trans fats in KFC food. This is surprising and interesting. (apparently trans-fat free since 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC)
- a8da6b0c91d 12y agoN-6 fatty acid over consumption is still a huge problem, trans or not. Anything cooked in vegetable oils is bad for you. I believe the rise in vegetable oil (soy, corn, sunflower, canola, peanut) consumption is a key factor in the obesity epidemic. It has the effect of lowering metabolism and increasing inflammation.
- erkkie 12y agoYes, there's lots of recent research showing the importance of managing n3/n6 ratios, typical western diets being up to 15:1 6/3 whereas ideal would be purpoted to be more closer to 1:1
- a8da6b0c91d 12y agoThe ratio is not nearly as important as keeping PUFA intake as low as possible. Fish oil is just as bad an idea as canola oil. There is a pretty clear body of literature linking PUFA of both kinds to cancer.
- erkkie 12y agoWhich means eat real food not supplement to manage ratios?
- a8da6b0c91d 12y agoMany "real foods" are rich sources of PUFAs.
- gadders 12y agoPlus it depends what exercise you're doing. If you're doing heavy weight training (5/3/1, Starting Strength etc) then 52g of protein in one meal isn't that much.
