Why is frying considered so unhealthy?

Foods that are fried often act as a sponge, absorbing fat as they cook. Most oils contain about 120 calories per Tablespoon, so calories in fried foods add up quickly.

In addition to the fat that the foods are fried in, there's generally a tasty batter or coating that is applied to the foods before cooking. Flour, bread crumbs, cornmeal and other batter-boys tend to be high in calories.

As an example, one cup of flour contains half the calories of sugar, but at 400 calories per cup it's not a great Diet Deal.

While dieting, opt for oven roasted, pan-fried using non-stick cooking spray, boiled, poached or grilled - however be mindful of those grilling sauce calories or you may end up with a food higher in calories than it's fried-prepared cousin.
