Yeh thats what i was thinking, i kind of gathered the coconut oil with chicken would be slightly better for you as it has those good fats with it, Just wanted a change from the steamed chicken lol thanks
U don't need much coconut oil to fry a piece of chicken. As long as you aren't deep frying and u consider it in your macros. I would be able to incorporate that into my macros. Sounds delicious too.Quote:

Yeh i used1/2 a teaspoon and cooked it in the wok, i was cooking at the time i asked this question!! i will have to branch out and try some spices, normally im a plain person but its time to spice things up i think haha
I HATE the fact that Pam is considered Fat Free when it in reality is not. Not trashing you GGR just hate that S**T. Arghh, does it ever make me angry.Quote:

I actually use canola oil spay in a can that looks like Pam. Still upset? It says fat carb and protein free too.
coconut oil is the shiznit! try panfried shrimp in coconut oil. delicious! :)
I just bought an Oil Mister and fill it up with the oil of choice at that time. Works great and I know what I am eating.
So Pam can call itself Fat Free because it is all about how you define servings. Anyone ever try to use One serving of Pam? I dare anyone to do it since that is the only way to get it Fat free. One Servering = 1/4 of a second of Spraying.
Thanks

Either way, the spray "fat free" is easy to use and I use very minimal compared to what i would use of any other oil. I use it more for keeping shit from sticking to the pan. I wouldn't recommend emptying the can out in a pan and deep frying with it. You have to use some common sense with anything.
I primarily use a wok and it already is Teflon coated.
I just picked up an oil spritzer but haven't used it yet.
oven baked high heat, 5 minutes then after cooking add healthy oil so it doesn't go rancid from heating
