The Problem: A single chicken wing has 81 calories and 5 grams of fat. Given that most people don’t eat just one, a lone feast of chicken wings could easily lead to 1,000 extra calories and 50 grams of fat—nearly two or three days worth of artery-clogging fat! “Since 500 extra calories per day leads to two pounds per week, chicken wings are a recipe for weight gain,” Dr. Bhatia says.
The Solution: If you like chicken, try baked or grilled versions to avoid a calorie overload. Since conventional chicken feed often contains antibiotics to stimulate faster growth (and sometimes even arsenic), choose organic whenever you can. If you want to go the veggie route, try this delicious vegan Buffalo wings alternative. – Tasneem Bhatia, MD, author of What Doctors Eat
