Hey guys. I'm rolling with the IIFYM crew here, and attempting to make some delicious chicken wings fit into my diet. I follow the Berkham approach to intermittent fasting at the moment, and tomorrow is a non-training day. That means I essentially carb cycle that day as a "Low" day, meaning I ingest probably 40g or less of carbs, none of them through direct carb sources.
The nice thing about that is that chicken wings:
...are on the menu. High in fats and proteins and low in carbs (assuming I keep BBQ sauce off), I'm anticipating a satiating night. However, I wondered if anyone had a good calorie count for wings. I see ballparks all over the place, but don't really have a definite. I know I'll be taking in a lot of protein throughout the day and I'm pretty sure the fats and even more protein will be covered by the wings haha. Since I'm cutting I'm more concerned about the calories in this instance. Plan to eat about 20, and at the average 75g per wing that I seem to gather, would I be safe to anticipate 1500 calories from that?
And of course, as to not just make this thread a question with a response...what's you're favorite sauce for chicken wings?

Arizona Ranch. End of story.
Luckily, you're from PA, so I assume you are familiar with Quaker Steak.

Weigh all chicken wings raw. (or you could just weigh them cooked and then look up the cooked boneless calorie info at the end)
Cook them
Eat them. Take bones from wings weigh bones
subtract wing weight from total raw weight
look up calorie info for Boneless chicken wings raw
idk this is what i do...for all i know it makes no sense lol

Restaurant purchased wings are really dense and that's because of the preparation (fried). Not only that but the sauce (if it isn't sweet) is generally flavoured with butter making it more dense but ultimately more flavourful.
A restaurant I go to has 8 pieces listed at 1020 calories with no sauce. If you get the least amount of sugar (which would be hot sauce) then it's 180 calories for 50ml, which will coat the 8 wings. So that's 1,170 for 8 wings. The macros on that are 84g of fat, 7g of carbs, and 97g of protein. This particular restaurant doesn't bread their wings all that much, so the carbs are low.
Most of the nutrition info I'm checking out is in a similar range. The more breaded a wing is the more calories it will be because (A) more flour which also means (B) more oil absorption.

BW's has 45 cent wing tuesday... another place has all you can eat for 13 bucks but i can't remember the name of it right now as my coffee hasn't kicked.
At BW's 1 chicken wing is -
50 calories
3.3g fat
1g carb
5g protein
Rounded a couple of those as they say a serving is 3. Which means my last BW lunch was 2,000 calories: 133g fat, 40g carb, and 200g protein. Sounds healthy to me.*Unaesthetic Crew* Disregard V-Taper, Acquire PRs.

Cool story bro.
For the debate about a chicken wing being 79 g, I believe that was probably for the whole section ie. wing and drummie, but I could be wrong. Here's what I found:
1 chicken wing bone removed (49g) : 159 cal 9.7 g pro, 5.4g carb, 10.7g fat
That doesn't count any sauce that is added... if they have the sauce for sale, there may be nutrition info around there.
Either way, one meal isn't going to kill you.
