if I go to a nice Italian restaurant, I get nice olive oil and bread for dipping before my grilled chicken arrives. The Mediterranean diet is good. But if I coat chicken in bread crumbs and fry it in olive, that’s bad. Why?

Question

I’m consuming the exact same ingredients – olive oil, bread, and chicken. But fir some reason, one style is healthy and the other is not. What makes it unhealthy? Why aren’t both methods “Mediterranean”?

It’s not as bad as it could be, but most people don’t fry chicken in olive oil. Also think about what you eat with your dinner. If you’re at a nicer restaurant then you’re going to get a quality salad, veggies with dinner, etc. Fried chicken is usually not served with particularly healthy sides.
