If I'm cooking chicken breasts in a frying pan, and I use a tablespoon of butter to grease the pan, do I count that in my calorie estimates for the day?
Also I'm trying to lose weight, so let's have a Fat Hate Thread because fuck those """""""""people"""""""""

> do I count that in my calorie estimates for the day
theres already a fat hate thread and your post sounds like you are a fat fuck yourself
>butter
you dont cook the chicken breast with butter anon .. use olive oil or something
if you use butter/oil .. try to count it but most of the time you won't know how much it actually was ... just know that you actually ate a bit more than you thought u did
>>35823414
>i eat it
>do i count it?
>>35823642
Olive oil shouldn't be used for cooking.
>>35823665
are you retarded?
>>35823659
Yeah, it's a fucking stupid question, but if I didn't ask it and I just pretended I knew what the fuck I was doing I'd be fat until I died at 29.
>>35823642
I am a fat fuck, but I'm 20 lbs down from where I started. Still fucking fat.
Thanks for answering though
Why don't you just get a slow cooker, got this today for £17. Made shredded chicken in hot peri peri sauce. Why fry your food?
Cooking oils are harder to count because the food absorbs only so much of it, but for the sake of losing weight you should probably count the oil at 100% of its measured use.
>>35823665
what do you think olive oil is for then?
just to look at it? do you think people buy them to pour them over their head?
its an oil used for cooking
>>35823728
slow cookers are for wage slaves
>>35823728
Do you make your own peri peri? I generally just oven-bake a couple of chicken breasts and slap on a bit of nando's sauce.
>>35823745
People do use it as a hair treatment tho t.bh f.am
>>35823728
Want to but I'm really fucking broke. Looks good dude
>>35823747
Last year my roommate made kickass pulled pork in one, they're fucking sweet
>>35823765
i know .. i did that before 2bh
was a bit awkward
>>35823747
How so? It was marked down from £50 and it's really fucking nice chicken. I've tried frying, cooking in the oven, dry poaching it and it's not all that tasty. This way the chicken tastes nice and it's still lean. Also cooked 5 chicken breasts so that's food preparation done for tomorrow.
TL DR ; slow cookers > frying
>>35823745
you can use it cold, you dumbass
for example in salad dressing
>>35823799
i ate caprese earlier
totally aware
>>35823751
Nah man just getting back into cooking, I've only made holondaise sauce for salmon which I eat a couple times a week. My oven is a literal piece of shit cause my landlord is cheap, still turns out pretty cheap. Need to look up recipes for sauces.
>>35823414
>>35823642
I use sunflower or vegetable oil don't usually cook with olive oil
not gonna lie
you're never gonna make it if you are cooking with oil/butter
just bake that shit, homie
>>35823819
When I'm on a budget my go-to for anything is tinned chopped tomatoes & chilli.
>Pasta, sardines, chopped tomatoes & chilli
>Beef mince, rice, chopped tomatoes & chilli
>Chicken, rice, chopped tomatoes & chilli
It's obviously basic as fuck but it beats eating your food dry which I know lots of people do.
>>35823745
What the other anon meant is, don't fry with olive oil. You can use it as an ingredient for cooking.
Olive oil is fine for frying at lower temperatures too IIRC.
>>35824153
Except for deep-frying olive oil is fine for everything. All the best chefs in the world use olive oil brah.
>>35823414
use that spray thing PAM or whatever its basically no calorie
>>35824164
Name a single 'best chef' who is in shape.
>>35824186
Gordon Ramsay. Literally the first chef I thought of when I was thinking of who uses olive oil for frying.
In fact, I'd probably guess that michelin star chefs are in far better shape on average than say, American police.
>>35823665
>>35823799
not sure if b8 or genuine retard
>>35823728
Dude where from, sounds like an amazing deal for 17£
>>35824186
Name a single "best cardiologist" that uses oil to cook.
>>35824199
Just because Gordon Ramsey isn't fat doesn't mean he is in shape. He is probably just as unhealthy as others. Olive Oil clogs artieesrisflopts and causes strokes.
>>35824272
>artieesrisflopts
what the fuck is this supposed to be
also Gordon Ramsey is in shape, look shit up instead of just rambling endlessly about hypotheticals fucking hell
Professional cook here
Extra virgin olive oil shouldn't be heated, but normal olive oil is fine to cook with
>>35824172
desu Pam just tastes bad, ruins good food for me.
>>35824298
So is extra virgin olive oil just for drizzling or dipping bread into?
>>35824314
essentially yeah, for raw uses its better
for oven/pan/whatever use normal oo
t. greek
>>35824298
>Extra virgin olive oil shouldn't be heated
why?
>>35824339
its not true ... dont listen to these autists
you can heat it just fine and its not bad for your health
>>35824339
Low smoke point
>>35824339
Don't want to doubt our pro cook here, but you CAN use extra virgin for cooking, but there's two reasons you shouldn't.
1. It's very pure and therefore expensive, so it's a waste to burn that shit in a pan.
2. It has an extremely low smoke point, so stinks your kitchen/house out.
Better to use a high smoke-point oil like groundnut oil.
>>35824363
you can heat it just fine .. but not too much .. same is true for every other oil
>>35824389
>>35824363
makes sense, whenever i cook hot with it it looks like my kitchen was on fire. cheers
>>35823659
Only if it's one of your solid meals, also dessert doesn't count either.
lmao all these retards can't cook with oil because they don't use low heat to cook meat or sautee vegetables. Go to Italy and get laughed at you plebs
>>35824498
this
i have never seen someone advocating against using olive oil for chicken or pasta in a skillet etc
obviously if its smoking and literally on fire dont use it
>>35824498
Meat should be seared at high heat and then transferred to the oven if necessary
Sauteeing is always done at high heat
Kill yourself my friend
>>35823659
Yes, and drink it too. Except water. Plain drink water
>>35824272
Gordon Ramsay does fucking Iron Mans. Uneducated piece of shit.
>>35824512
>Meat should be seared at high heat
Not chicken you fucking moron.
>>35824164
depends on the kind of olive oil, actually. Extra virgin, the kind almost everyone gets, has a really low smoke point so it sucks for deep frying. Also the flavor is so strong that it would impart it on everything you cook in it.
For deep frying, vegetable or canola oil is the bomb.
Learn2cook tasty shit brah
>>35824596
I don't agree
>>35824523
OP here. Drinking only water fucking sucks but cutting out soda is how I got half of my weight loss so far.
>>35824616
Dude, if you just sear chicken without cooking it more, you risk salmonella. Shit fucking sucks man.

That's the one i got, you can get a 4.5l one for a few quid extra. I'm in the UK atm. It's pretty decent worth the money like.
>>35824662
Read the rest of the sentence you originally quoted friend
Put it in the oven to finish
>>35823414
there's nothing wrong with butter, butter has a higher heat tolerance than olive oil. Olive oil becomes unstable at high temperatures. Coconut oil would be better than both of those. People really need to stop freaking out about good fats.
Don't ever consume canola, sunflower, or vegetable oil = very bad for you and basically transfats.
I would count the calorie estimate if you fry the chicken. If you are super strict with calories then maybe try baking the chicken instead, so you don't have to worry about counting or not counting the oil.
Clarified butter master race here
>>35824686
I figured that calories are calories, so I haven't been worried about buttering my rice as long as I measure the butter used and count it in my daily calories.
Just realized that cooking with oils might mean I had to count it too. Thanks for the warning on other oils though
>>35824762
>Buttering rice
What the actual fuck.
>>35825306
Is this not a thing that people do? Rice with butter, salt, and pepper?
>>35825345
I rarely eat rice myself but I've literally never heard of someone buttering rice until now.
>>35824686
>Don't ever consume canola, sunflower, or vegetable oil = very bad for you and basically transfats.
Dude. No. Non-hydrogenated Veg/Corn/Sunflower/Safflower/Rapeseed oils are fine, chill the fuck out.
>>35823902
Made baked chicken, pretty okay. Good advice.
>>35823747
Do you not like to have convenient meals that are generally less expensive?
>>35823772
Slowcookers are worth the money you spend on them, IMO. Definitely a good buy for anyone.
