Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fried Chicken Thigh

  • Metabolic Effect: Due to its high fat content, it provides energy but is difficult to digest and can raise blood sugar levels quickly. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and fat accumulation.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It is recommended to consume it rarely and in small portions. Try to ensure nutritional balance by consuming it with plenty of salad and vegetables.
  • Things to Consider: Trans fats can form during the frying process, which is harmful to heart health. Choosing baked or grilled alternatives is healthier.
  • Exercise Equivalent: You need to walk briskly for about 1 hour to burn these calories. As a more intense activity, 40 minutes of running can provide the same effect.
