Health Benefits of Grill Vs Baked Chicken
——————————————————-
Rich in protein and low in calories, chicken is the go-to choice for many dieters and healthy eaters. Whether you opt for baked or grilled chicken breast, you’ll get over 30 grams of lean protein and zero carbs. While both cooking methods preserve its flavor, baking is a safer choice.
According to the National Cancer Institute, cooking meat at high temperatures, such as when grilling over an open flame, may alter its composition and promote the formation of toxic compounds. Heterocyclic amines (HCAs), for example, are classified as potential human carcinogens by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
These chemicals tend to form when grilling, frying or broiling meat, fish or poultry. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are just as dangerous, may occur in smoked foods and meats cooked at high temperatures.
Both types of compounds can cause DNA damage after being metabolized by certain enzymes in the body. The activity of these enzymes varies among individuals, which explains why some people are more prone to the side effects of HCAs and PAHs than others.
Grilled chicken and baked chicken have a similar nutritional value, though. A 3.5-ounce serving of grilled chicken breast provides 165 calories, 3.8 grams of fat and 31 grams of protein. It’s also a good source of iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc and B-vitamins. Baked chicken breast, by comparison, boasts 151 calories, 3.1 grams of fat and 30.5 grams of protein per serving.
