How to log bone-in chicken?

I went through the database and found that 4oz of bone-in chicken breast is the same as 4oz of boneless - that is, the bone's weight isn't factored in as inedible.
I don't have a food scale, so right now my formula is the packaged weight divided by the number of chicken breasts. From that number, what percentage should I take away for the bone, on average? I don't expect it to be anywhere near exact; I just don't want to artificially inflate my protein numbers with chicken I didn't eat. :laugh:
