How many calories do you think are in a whole breast of a small unseasoned rotisserie chicken?

The box says its a 1.75 lb whole chicken (including bones)
I ate only the breast without skin...

    There is an entry for that in the database. Of course, you still need to know how much meat you actually consumed. If the whole chicken is only 1.75lb, I can't imagine it was very much!

    Unless you cut off all the meat and weighed it using a food scale, you have no way of knowing how many calories you consumed.

    Did you weigh what you ate?

    You can use this chart to guestimate your consumption:

    I was thinking probably 8 oz of breast?

    Find the database entry "Chicken - Breast, meat only, cooked, roasted". It doesn't have an asterisk, so has been MFP-entered. It has a number of different options for the quantity so just choose the one closest to what you think you ate.

    But a digital food scale is your friend if you want to be accurate!
