What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Breast: grilled → deep-friedCoating: + Fast food coatingSauce: + Ranch sauce
  • Deep-frying in a thick fast-food coating soaks the same lean fillet in breading and oil — the reference examples run from 165 kcal/100 g grilled to 240+ heavily breaded.
  • A tablespoon of ranch on the side is mostly fat calories that never look like part of the dish.
  • Grilled, the breast stays at its natural density: all the protein, nothing riding along.
