A lot of people will opt for a fried chicken sandwich over a burger, thinking this choice is the lesser of two evils. Red meat tends to have more fat than chicken, which can be quite lean depending on the cut.
But you have to be careful with which chicken sandwhich you order, because there is one that is completely unhealthy for you.
The Burger King Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a popular favorite, and many people think it's a lot healthier than other items on the restaurant's menu. Burger King introduced this sandwich three years ago as a replacement to its much unhealthier Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich.
While it is true that the Crispy Chicken Sandwich is a better tasting option than its predecessor and is made with 100% white meat, it is still an extremelt fattening dish. It has 41 grams of fat - 7 grams of which is saturated fat - and 54 grams of carbs.
Next time you have a craving for a chicken sandwich, opt for grilled chicken instead of fried. This keeps both the fat content and carbs down so you can enjoy your sandwich with peace of mind.
