Hello all, really quick question here:
Measuring chicken wings for calorie counting purposes. In the database, the ones I eat are there, but listed by calories/ounce (the stop and shop 1st and second wing joint). One serving is 4 OZ. What's up with the bones? Or is it 4oz including bone?
Thank you!

    Oh, how funny to see this here...I JUST had exactly this question tonight! (To myself, I mean. I didn't post it.)

    Anyway, I just measured bone-in. I figured unless they specifically said boneless, they must have meant with the bone.

    it should be without. I wanted to try a wings recipe and didn't know the answer either so I emailed Foster Farms (the brand of my wings) and they said their nutrition info on the packaging is for the edible portion only, excluding bones.

    Ugh, I wish I had known that. I would have eaten more. :blush: Ah well, onward and upward, there are leftovers...tomorrow...four chicken wings.

    Is this a serious question?
