How many calories in a grilled chicken breast

The calories of a grilled breast are lower than those of a fried breast. Grilled meat is lighter than fried meat because it does not contain a layer of crust.

Grilled pieces are cooked differently. The fried pieces are a high-calorie crust of dough and are fried in oil. The roasted pieces do not have batter. Oils are allowed to drain off the roasted pieces while they are on the grill.

Grilled pieces are skinless and boneless. This additional processing increases the price of raw meat, but makes the cooked product healthier and easier to eat.

How many calories in a skinless chicken breast?

Processed raw parts are delivered from chicken processing plants in four types. They are available with bone, without bone, with skin and without skin. Bone-in is the whole chicken cut into pieces leaving the bones in place. Skin is removed to ship skinless pieces. Boneless meat has the bones removed and the meat is chopped up and reprocessed.

The skin adds about 50 calories and 3 g of fat to each piece. Kentucky Fried Chicken has extra calories in its grilled meat due to added ingredients to make it moist and flavorful. A 3-ounce precooked grilled strip from Kroger contains 110 calories in a skinless chicken breast.
