having chicken with the skin

[jill sandow]

I wonder if you can mess a diet having chicken as your main proteinbut also eating the skin, it is tastiest part of the chicken
I can't help it lol.

 

[oxymoron]

The main problem I see is it's basically taking away from beauty of chicken. It's so lean. I think skin on a chicken breast is roughly 9 - 10g of fat. So it's not terrible, but I almost see it counter productive... unless you not dieting to lose fat, it's prob no biggie.

the skin is very calorie dense

if you are trying to lose weight removing the skin and eating less chicken and more veggies with your meal is a good idea. it can really make a difference in the long run
