Chicken Breast size
I don't have a food scale, and I'm finding it hard to figure out what my average chicken breast contains in calories. Can anyone help me out? I buy the bulk bag of Tyson boneless skinless chicken breasts from Sam's. Are they about 6 oz each? How big is a 4 oz breast supposed to be? :embarassed:

sticking to diets at parties
How do you all deal with going to parties and special events? Do you log what you eat that day, or just "take a day off" while still trying to eat fairly ok.

Home grown meat?
Is there any reliable way to judge meat that is NOT bought at the store? My husband and I are from farms in WV, so our meat comes from animals that our families have raised.

These weren't horrible. 180 calories and 5g fat for 4 rolls....2 servings per…
