If you take something like fish or chicken that is in breadcrumbs or batter, and you deep-fry it, how on earth do you calculate the calories in the fat that has clung to the food after it is taken out of the fat?

I would probably allocate 2 tablespoons of oils worth to the food if I was cooking it at home (if it was particularly greasy - maybe a little more).

If it's a resturant menu, then those calories would already include the cooking method.

OUCH! That is 270 calories (Tesco sunflower oil 2 tbsp). SOOooo not worth it!

Thanks Stack, I will bake the thing instead. Ouch ouch!
