How do you figure out the calories in boneless, skinless chicken thighs and legs?

Is that the calories including the skin and bone? Like would I have to pull off the meat off a thigh and leg and weigh it? I already removed all the skin, but I don’t know how many calories to take off since I removed the skin and I obviously won’t be eating the bone.

I would just go with an entry for boneless skinless chicken thighs. You aren't going to be getting enough drumstick meat to really make a difference, it will be mostly thigh meat.
And for bone in chicken I weigh it before I cooking and then just weigh the bones after I eat and subtract that weight.2 -
Thanks! @RAinWA2
