No food scale

I’ve been eating a lot of chicken breast lately and I wanted to know how many calories of chicken breast I’m consuming. The one I get is wrapped in plastic on a yellow styrofoam tray. It says that it weighs 1.7 lbs. so what I did was divide 1.7 and 4 (since there’s 4 chicken breast in the package) and got 0.42 lbs per chicken breast which equals to 6.2 ounces which is 290 calories. Is that correct? (I don’t have a food scale btw)

If they're the same size then yes that's correct. If they aren't that would be the average weight. About as accurate as you will get without a food scale. Probably only a few grams of protein difference either way.

Taking averages is a great start, but if you want more accuracy over time I would suggest just picking up a cheap food scale.

I am not super strict with portioning food, so long as you intend to consumer the entire pack and focus more on a longer horizon (E.g. caloric intake /weight change in a week) then you'll be fine. Although without a scale makes it so hard for just about everything else that is not individually weighed and pack to reasonably small amounts.

I would just get a scale...

It is correct, no need to sweat it, when you finish it all, you will get 1.7 lbs from it. A few grams more per meal and the same amount less in another meal don't matter, they all add up.

Estimate and move on.
