    Tracking calories with a rotisserie chicken

    I've been measuring out chicken breast but i've decided to cook whole chickens in a crockpot. Because of the mix of white and dark meat, is there any real way to track calories? I've been using the DailyBurn app and just calculating it as 1oz of chicken breast meat, but didn't know if that was accurate.

    WebMD has a Calorie Tracking tool. It's part of a "Personal Food and Fitness Planner" that tracks calories consumed as well as spent (taking your bodyweight into consideration). Seems pretty detailed, but I don't know if it distinguishes between white and dark meat for chicken.

    If you want to be as accurate as possible, I think your best bet would be to get the calories for an entire chicken of a certain weight. Then work it out calories/100g (on average between the different types of meat). Although I think many would consider this too OCD
