Is eating too much unhealthy food good for you?

No.

What are the Pros and Cons of eating unhealthy food that the teenagers need to know?

Good? Chicken is easy to prepare in a healthy way by grilling, roasting, sauteing, poaching, stir-frying and baking. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, we should be eating lean sources of protein, including chicken. It is recommended to remove the visible fat and skin from chicken before eating to decrease unnecessary calories from fat. Here is a comparison of 3-ounces of chicken breast with and without the skin: Without the skin: Calories: 142 Fat: 3 grams Saturated Fat: 1 gram Cholesterol: 73 milligrams Protein: 27 grams With the skin: Calories: 193 Fat: 8 grams Saturated Fat: 8 gram Cholesterol: 82 milligrams Protein: 29 grams As with most meat and poultry, it can get expensive. The problem is, most folks eat much higher portions that they really need. Purchasing 3-4 ounces cooked (about 4-5 ounces raw) per person can help keep portions at bay and control costs. Bad? Conventionally raised chickens are often treated with antibiotics in order to make them grow faster or combat the effects of crowded living conditions. The high usage of antibiotics has led to an increased risk of bacteria developing antibiotic resistance. While they offer different pros and cons, free-range, organic and local poultry can provide more eco-friendly alternatives but cost a pretty penny. Salmonella is another concern with chicken. The government no longer tests poultry for salmonella, instead we rely on preventative measures to keep our food safe. This includes food safety procedures from the slaughterhouse to the supermarket, which are checked by food inspectors (AKA sanitarians). It also means that consumers need to be careful how they handle raw chicken including preventing cross-contamination with ready-to-eat foods like fruits and veggies and making sure the chicken is cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Bottom Line: This lean meat can definitely be part of a healthy diet in appropriate portions. However, if you’re worried about how our feathered friends are raised and you have the funds, purchase antibiotic-free varieties.

Should teenagers have a balance diet??

Where do teenagers like to go for their meals?

Teenagers like to go to MacDonald,Pizza hut,KFC and so on for their meals.

What kind of food should they avoid eating?

One specific food that teenagers should avoid is fast food. Fast food should be avoided because it is one of many processed foods. Processed foods are high in unhealthy fats and low in nutrients. They are often full of artificial sweeteners and extra amounts of sodium in order for the food to maintain longer shelf lives compared to raw foods. Junk food should also be avoided. Junk food is any food that is high in sugar, salt, or fat. It should be avoided because junk food, like fast food, is often low in vitamins, antioxidants, and omega 3. The high fat and/or high sugar foods lead to obesity and future health risks such as diabetes and high cholesterol.

What kind of food should teenagers consume?

Teenagers need to consume a healthy diet that is high in fruits and vegetables, and rich in nutrients like calcium and iron. Teenagers can do a lot to improve their diet, eat healthy meals and snacks, and maintain a healthy weight.

What kind of nutrients is needed for both girls and boys?

Minerals Teen boys and girls require the same amount of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and selenium. Minerals where the requirements vary between the two genders include iron, magnesium and zinc. Female teens need 15 milligrams of iron daily, and male teens need 11 milligrams. Females need only 360 milligrams of magnesium a day to a male teen's 410 milligrams. The daily zinc requirement for girls stands at 9 milligrams, and boys need 11 milligrams. A teen's body uses magnesium for both nerve and muscle function and zinc for a strong immune system, according to TeensHealth. Vitamins Teen girls need just 700 micrograms of vitamin A, and boys require 900 micrograms a day. Food rich in vitamin A include carrots, pumpkin, eggs, butter and cantaloupe. Female teens also need less vitamin C than do boys: 65 milligrams a day for girls compared with about 75 milligrams a day for boys. Other vitamin requirements that vary between adolescent girls and boys include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and choline. Girls need slightly less of these vitamins because of their generally smaller stature and body weight.Protein Intake The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans indicates that the protein requirements for teenage boys and girls differ slightly. Boys between 14 and 18 years old need about 52 grams of protein a day, while girls in the same age range require 46 grams. Boys and girls who are 13 years old both need about 34 grams of protein. Good sources of protein include fish, skinless poultry, beans, fat-free or low-fat dairy products and lean cuts of beef.Calorie Requirements The calorie requirements of teenage boys and girls vary because of differences in weight and amount of lean muscle mass. A teenage boy between the ages of 13 and 15 needs between 2,000 and 3.000 calories a day, depending on his activity level. A male from 16 to 19 years old requires between 2,400 to 3,200 calories each day. Female teenagers from 13 to 15 years old need between 1,600 and 2,400 calories each day, and those between 16 and 19 years old require 1,800 to 2,400 calories. Both boys and girls who are relatively inactive need fewer calories than teens who participate in sports or have a very active lifestyle.Both boys and girls need to eat a balanced diet during the teenage years. Both genders should limit the amount of sugar they consume to help control their caloric intake and should keep their sodium consumption to 2,300 milligrams a day, according to the nonprofit organization HelpGuide. Girls and boys in their teenage years should eat several servings of vegetables and fruits each day, consume mainly whole grains, choose low-fat or fat-free dairy offerings and eat a variety of lean protein choices each day.

How to safely cook the chicken?

Always rinse chickens with cold water (inside and out) then pat dry with paper towels before preparing. To prevent cross contamination thoroughly clean all surfaces, utensils, plates, cutting boards, knives and hands with warm soapy water that have come in contact with raw chicken before they come in contact with any other raw or cooked foods. Always let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator, even if you only plan on letting it soak for 30 minutes. Do not baste the cooking chicken with marinade you've already used on the raw chicken: either make extra marinade and set aside a portion for basting only, or boil it for 2 to 3 minutes to kill any bacteria that might be present.

What's the healthiest ways to cook the chicken?

1. Stir-frying Rapidly cooking in a small amount of oil, in a wok or large skillet, over high heat. The pan should be large enough so that all food comes in frequent contact with the hot surface. Cutting meat and veggies into uniform pieces ensures that everything will finish cooking at the same time. 2. Braising Pan-searing followed by simmering in liquid. Searing (pan-frying in very little oil to create a golden crust) locks in flavor and moisture, and leaves flavorful morsels clinging to the bottom of the pan that are quickly incorporated into a sauce once liquids are added. 3. Poaching Simmering in water or broth until cooked through. This technique is ideal for recipes that require pre-cooked chicken, such as salads, enchiladas and sandwiches. For extra flavor, add whole peppercorns and bay leaves to the simmering liquid.

Can we eat chicken raw without cooking it?

No

How long does it take to cook the chicken?

Cooking time varies based upon many factors including: The size of the pieces you are using If the chicken is being cooked bone-in If the chicken is skinless The cooking method you are using Whether you are cooking white meat, dark meat, or both It's the conundrum of cooking a whole chicken. White meat cooks faster than dark meat. Often, whole chickens wind up with either a dry breast and juicy dark meat or a juicy breast and undercooked dark meat. Using a rotisserie can help to some extent, but when cooking a whole chicken, you will always need to overcook the white meat in order to get the dark meat to a safe temperature. Because of this, when roasting a whole chicken, you may want to still split the chicken into pieces so that you can adjust the cooking times for each specific part.

Can we cook the chicken without using any oil?

Yes,we can.

Which part of the chicken contains alot of fats?

The Skin The fattiest part of the chicken, ounce per ounce, is the skin, with 41 grams of fat per 100 grams. Therefore, to substantially lower the fat content of any part of a chicken, you can remove the skin either before or after cooking. However, according to Harvard School of Public Health, most of the fat in chicken skin is healthy, unsaturated fat.

Do we need to ensure that the right amount of oil is used?

Yes

Can you briefly describe the structure of the chicken?

Nomenclature The differences between the sexes can be seen in the appearance of the feathers in the neck, saddle, and the tail sections. There are some secondary sexual differences characteristics of birds, with some exceptions. The feathers help protect the bird from physical injury and keep the body warm. The wing feathers are, of course, necessary for flight. Respiratory System The respiratory system of birds is quite different from that of mammals. The lungs are firmly attached to the thoracic wall, and the active part of respiration is exhaling. In mammals, the more vigorous part of breathing is inhaling. Connected to the lungs are four pairs of air sacs located on both sides of the body. These sacs are found in the region from the neck to the abdomen. A single median sac is located in the cavity of the thorax. Besides opening into the lungs, the sacs are directly connected to the cavities of most of the bones of the body.

What type of chicken?

Broiler-fryer -a young, tender chicken about 7 weeks old which weighs 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds when eviscerated. Cook by any method. Rock Cornish Game Hen - a small broiler-fryer weighing between 1 and 2 pounds. Usually stuffed and roasted whole. Roaster - an older chicken about 3 to 5 months old which weighs 5 to 7 pounds. It yields more meat per pound than a broiler-fryer. Usually roasted whole. Capon - Male chickens about 16 weeks to 8 months old which are surgically unsexed. They weigh about 4 to 7 pounds and have generous quantities of tender, light meat. Usually roasted. Stewing/Baking Hen - a mature laying hen 10 months to 1 1/2 years old. Since the meat is less tender than young chickens, it's best used in moist cooking such as stewing.

How to handle chicken safely?

Fresh Chicken: Chicken is kept cold during distribution to retail stores to prevent the growth of bacteria and to increase its shelf life. Chicken should feel cold to the touch when purchased. Select fresh chicken just before checking out at the register. Put packages of chicken in disposable plastic bags (if available) to contain any leakage which could cross-contaminate cooked foods or produce. Make the grocery your last stop before going home. At home, immediately place chicken in a refrigerator that maintains 40 °F, and use within 1 or 2 days, or freeze at 0 °F. If kept frozen continuously, it will be safe indefinitely. Never leave raw or frozen chicken at room temperature. Raw chicken should be stored in the coldest part of your refrigerator and used within 2 days. Freeze any chicken that won't be used in 2 days. Frozen chicken can be stored in the freezer for up to one year without sacrificing quality. When thawing frozen chicken do so slowly, ideally in your refrigerator but if in a hurry a cold water bath will be fine. In the refrigerator it will take about 24 hours to thaw a whole roaster chicken and about 2 to 9 hours for cut-up chicken parts. Chicken may be frozen in its original packaging or repackaged. If freezing longer than two months, over wrap the porous store plastic packages with airtight heavy-duty foil, plastic wrap or freezer paper, or place the package inside a freezer bag. Use these materials or airtight freezer containers to repackage family packs into smaller amounts or freeze the chicken from opened packages. Proper wrapping prevents "freezer burn," which appears as grayish-brown leathery spots and is caused by air reaching the surface of food. Cut freezer-burned portions away either before or after cooking the chicken. Heavily freezer-burned products may have to be discarded because they might be too dry or tasteless.
