KFC’s Grilled Chicken a Better Choice
One group I turn to for reliable health information is the Center for Science in the Public Interest. In their current issue, they analyze KFC’s grilled chicken versus the fried counter part. Â Now, I rarely eat fried chicken or go to KFC, but what I found surprising is that their grilled chicken is better than that from Boston Market.
Now, I do pickup the rotisserie at the local super market. I’ve never bothered to lookup the nutrition information for those birds. I just assumed they were better as they were freshly cooked. One thing I’ve learned is you cannot assume anything about the nutrition of the food you eat. So I will have to dig up the nutrition info on the rotisserie chicken and compare it to KFC’s.
Another very popular item at the CSPI is the 10 Worst and Best Foods as well as their Top Food Frauds. When looking for whole grains, also make sure the first ingredient lists “Whole” in its title. Some products use a minimum amount of whole grains so they can claim that title but primarily use refined grains.
