rcruz 0 Posted July 25, 2008 I know that chicken is used alot for the Protein and also fish. But my question is, (I am sure I know thew answer) but the breaded kind of fish is a no no right? And what about chicken should it always be skinless too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keisha85 1 Posted July 25, 2008 i dont know about fish, cs only like tuna. but chicken has to be skinless, even though that is the best bit. and has to be boiled, grilled or baked hope that helps wel done on your loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaB411 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Breaded chicken and fish obviously has more calories and carbs (and fat if it's fried), but don't see why it would be a "no no." It's not going to hurt the band. I eat breaded chicken sometimes, just not a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaB411 0 Posted July 25, 2008 i was told bread is a nono Bread is hard for a lot of people to eat, because of the doughy consistency. It can turn into a blob of dough in your stomach. Breaded meat isn't the same thing -- it's usually crispy and crunchy and easier to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcruz 0 Posted July 25, 2008 WEll the only kind of fish I am able to get down is the Vandcamps oven baked fish sticks like is what I mean. The chicken well I will just have to find new ways of cooking lots of chicken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pearlygirl 1 Posted July 25, 2008 I feel like almost anything is okay....IN MODERATION. If you're craving breaded chicken, this is a simple yet healthy way to indulge. I take chicken breast strips, dip them in egg beaters, then throw them in a big ziploc bag with crushed corn flakes and/or reduced fat cheez-its and bake. They are fast, easy and not a whole lot higher in fat or calories than just the plain chicken. I first made them because I thought my daughter would like them, it turns out we all do.

Lillie52 0 Posted July 25, 2008 If it is fried, I prefer to stay away from it. WAY too much fat. Breaded/baked is not as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northwest_Nance 0 Posted July 25, 2008 I can eat anything I want, though I usually pick and choose the healthier stuff. Breaded pork chops is one of my favorites, but I don't eat it nearly as often as I did before surgery. And although I usually do grilled chicken breasts, I like to bake chicken thighs and drumsticks and I leave the skin on. I haven't tried fried chicken since surgery, mostly because I just haven't wanted to. It's really a matter of individual choice, and what you can handle!

Long2BFree 12 Posted July 25, 2008 I wouldn't see where breaded fish would be as hard to eat like a slice of bread would be. If you take small bites and wait a few minutes to see if it goes down okay I would think you would do alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcruz 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Thank you ladies! I really like the baked fish sticks and as I know it's good Protein (fish) I wanted to make sure it was ok with it having an outter breading. I can only eat like 5-6 pieces but after my fill who knows I'll only be down to like maybe 2-3 ???? Who knows. The chicken I can find many ways to fix that.

HeatherO 7 Posted July 25, 2008 I eat breaded chicken and fish, but I don't deep fry them and I don't do it often. The breading makes the texture more interesting and since I am not eating a lot of carbs, a little breading doesnt hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
To be free 1 Posted July 25, 2008 Pearlygirl.......I agree and make my chicken the same way...I also use the corn flake crumbs on pork chops, spray with nonstick and bake them Yum!!! Last night I did it with Zucchini sticks it was just like fried Zucchini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Telecia 1 Posted July 26, 2008 If your having problems with chicken being to dry. You can buy chicken that they have added chicken broth/stock to. I Know Aldies does this to their chicken breasts and they come out so MUCH more moist then buying chicken from anyplace else. It makes the salt content a bit higher but personally I don't worry to much about salt. I just don't add anymore to it. A 10 minute broil on each side and it comes out beautiful.

The chicken well I will just have to find new ways of cooking lots of chicken.< /div> Are the oven baked fish sticks breaded? Are they pretty good? The only fish I like is tuna, salmom croquettes, long john silver, or popcorn shrimp. all a no-no except the tuna. I am going today to buy some talipia, I have been told it doesnt have the fishy taste.
