Question: Is frying food is vegtable oil fattening?


( Back )

Answer #1:

judging by the size of you but?- YES

Answer #2:

Yes, all oil is fattening.

I use spray oil or even water for frying.

2 tablespoons of any oil contains 240 fat calories.

But you can have as much black coffee as you want, although green tea is better for weight loss.

Answer #3:

I think the 2 tablespoons wasn't the best idea, but it wasn't like you deep fried it. Next time, try using a smaller amount of olive oil or broil them in the oven.

Answer #4:

Yes, vegetable oil is fattening and unhealthy. I would recommend you try avoiding fried food and go for the lean meats, fruits, vegetables. and grains. Some would beg to differ, but coffee acts as an appetite depressant and will help curve your appetite.

Answer #5:

Well, a tablespoon is 120 calories so you used 240 calories worth of it.....when you're on a diet every calorie is important. These would be "empty calories" It's not going to throw all your dieting out the window however. Next time use PAM non-stick cooking spray. They make a "butter" one for baking. PAM has 0 calories and 0 grams of fat. DON'T use olive oil or any other oil, because nomatter what.... oil is sill oil....so it's still unhealthy and fattening.
- And as long as you don't use too much sugar, coffee is not bad for you... other people will nag you to just drink water but truth is, coffee is basically all water so NO it's not bad for you:)

Answer #6:

Coffee is not bad, unless you drink too much of it and then the caffeine can become addictive.

Do not use “vegetable oil”.
It’s not even about how many calories you add but how unhealthy the oil is.
The generic term "vegetable oil", when used to label a cooking oil product, refers to a blend of a variety of oils often based on palm, corn, soybean or sunflower oils. Palm oils, along with coconut oils are saturated and the bad kind of oils (will clog your arteries).

Use olive oil which is very healthy. It’s rich in monounsaturated fats (oleic acid) which raises the good HDL cholesterol and lower the bad LDL cholesterol in the blood so it’s very good for the heart and your organs’ health. Use it in all your salads dressings. 1 tbsp. (for a woman) or 2 tbsp. (for a man) will give you daily great benefits, as long as you replace your saturated fats by olive oil and not just add olive oil, so you don’t eat too many calories. Olive oil is good but it’s still 120 calories per tbsp.

Olive oil in salad dressing is the best and tastes great, but now, if you want to cook with it, you have to make the difference between all the different kinds of olive oils, according to your cooking methods and the temperature the oil will reach. The 100% pure olive oil is the lowest quality, because it’s not “virgin”. If you’ll reach a temperature above 375F, you have to use extra light olive oil, which was refined and can withstand higher cooking temperatures but has less flavor.

For high temperature cooking (above 450F), you have to use an oil that will not degrade to toxic compounds when heated up, like extra light olive oil, or Canola oil (which is my choice for frying).

Personally, I don’t bother. I use olive oil for my salad dressings and maybe with low temperatures, like making my already cooked pieces of potatoes crispy golden on the stove top (not too often, of course).
For frying, like French fries, I use Canola oil, a good polyunsaturated oil that tastes great and does not degrade at high temperature, and if you do it right (blot, blot, blot), your fries will be low calories.

Oils…
The bad kind (saturated) are mostly coconut and palm oils and will clog your arteries.
The good kind (polyunsaturated) are like Canola, sunflower, Soya, cottonseed, soybean and corn oils.
The best kind is olive oil (monounsaturated). And also peanut oil, unless you’re allergic to nuts.

At home, you have a lot of cooking methods for which you do not need any extra fat. Slow cooker, pressure cooker, steamer, microwave, rotisserie, grill…Use more herbs. I cannot eat chicken or salmon at restaurants anymore because my herbs skinless chicken in my little rotisserie is out of this world…and their salmon never tastes as good and juicy as my steamed salmon.
I use my steamer for fish and veggies…again, not having to use any extra fat. Plus you just put everything in the steamer, turn the knob for 20 minutes and then you’re free to do something else…unlike frying something on the stove which requires constant attention.
