berrybird Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 CaGirl Sorry I know that seemed like a stupid question The reason I ask is because of the skin, and thank for your reply It's perfectly fine to eat chicken skin on Whole30. I often roast skin-on chicken thighs coated with oil in the oven at a high temp so the skin gets crispy! I might hold off a little on adding too much extra fat to that meal, since that type of cooking holds more of the oil than, say, sauteing, but it's not a bad thing!

Just4me73 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks Berrybird With the drumsticks I also serve sweet potato and a veggie stir fry cooked in coconut oil, I plugged it all into an app out of curiosity and it says the meals contains 21gm of fat....is that an acceptable amount per meal ?

We're not into macro counting on a Whole30. Instead, use satiety as your guide. You want to build meals of protein, veg and fat that satiate you for 4-5 hours. If you're hungry sooner than that, increase your portions. If a meal lasts you beyond that time-frame, cut back on the portions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaGirl Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 ignore your previous Apps and such.. They don't count here in Whole 30 land.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewer5 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Just4me, fat is your FRIEND. I know that may be a new concept, but embrace & ENJOY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted November 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 15, 2015 Remember that if you are going to eat the skin, you should be using the best, most concientiously raised chicken that you can find. If you are using conventional chicken, skin should be stripped and fat should be drained. The toxins of conventional farming practices are stored in the animals skin and fat. Properly raised chickens though, eat that skin up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pally Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I LOVED this recipe http://agirlworthsaving.net/2012/06/ginger-chicken-recipe.html Didn't know if I would even like drumsticks but my mouth is watering just at the memory of them.

PatW Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I see that many recipes call for thighs with skin on. Most chicken thighs with skin are sold with bundles of fat hanging around. Do you trim that before you cook? Though the fat is good, looking at lumps of that kind of fat makes me sick. I can eat ghee and coconut butter etc.. but not his kind of fat. Is that fat considered good fat at all? Thanks. I am learning a lot from this community and thinking moving towards keto soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the quality of the meat makes a big difference, but that's just my opinion. If you're buying cheap chicken, I would definitely trim any excess fat hanging on. But overall to answer your question, animal fat is not unhealthy for you as long as you're keeping in mind your Whole30 meal serving sizes.
