The calories of something fried in an air fryer depend on the calories of the food itself and the amount of added fat and sugar. If the food itself contains too much fat or too much added cooking oil and sugar, the calorie content will be higher.
In general, the calories of the food we consume include the calories of the food itself and the sum of the calories of the fats and oils and various condiments used in cooking the food.
Air fryer is to heat the food by heating the hot air produced by the heat pipe inside the machine at high temperature, so that the hot air circulates in the enclosed space, and the food itself is utilized to fry the food with its own oil and fat, so that the food is dehydrated and the surface becomes crispy with the effect of frying.
Food cooked in an air fryer generally does not contain other excess fats and oils, and the heat is generally not high. However, if the food cooked in an air fryer contains more fat itself (such as panko), the calories are as high as eating it, or if you do not limit your intake because you think that the calories are not as high as the food fried in an air fryer, then it is easy to exceed the calorie limit.
