Rules of Thumb    
· Broiling, grilling, baking, or pan-frying with added fat (without flour, cornmeal, or breading) adds approximately 20 calories and 2 grams of fat per 3 ounces of cooked meat, poultry or seafood.
· Breading and frying adds approximately 115 calories and 13 grams of fat per 3 ounces.
· The amount of added fat varies considerably and can be significantly higher, especially in restaurants.
