Whole grilled chicken

izzylicious · 07-05-2009, 03:07 AM

so today i orderd a grilled chicken, weights between 700~1000 gm.
anyway, i searched up, i cant find how many calories are in a whole chicken.
anyone have any idea? or even an approximate number?

You can't really tell with a whole chicken. It could be a fat one, it could be a lean one. I would just discard the skin and separable fat, and call it chicken thigh meat if you use nutritiondata.com or fitday.com. So long as you can figure out how much of the meat you ate, it ought to average out.

this sounds like reasonable advice to me.

Sometimes when I run out of chicken and don't have time to thaw some before I need more, I'll pick up a store rotisserie chicken and tear it apart. I toss the skin and as much fat as I can, and what I end up with is mostly dark meat. It's actually very close in price to buying and cooking my own chicken, and it usually tastes better!
