I'm having a hard time finding calories for baking a split chicken breast with the bone and skin, THEN removing the skin. Any help?

I know baking with out the skin in the first place will be less calories and fat, but I think it taste better :happy:

    I'm having that today. I am using Meijer brand and I added that into the data base. Not sure how many calories with the skin off but for 4 oz it is 170 calories.

    If you cook your chicken with the skin on only to take it off at the dinner table, then that's where all the great-tasting marinade, BBQ sauce, or BBQ rubs and seasonings are going to be. Plus it makes sense that some of the fat in the skin is going to melt into the chicken meat as it cooks. So go ahead and take the skin off before you prepare the chicken for grilling. It will grill much the same way as it did before except this time all the seasoning and flavor won't come off with the skin.

    * 4 ounces of roasted chicken breast with skin contains 225 calories, 8.8 grams of fat and 2.5 grams of saturated fat

    * 4 ounces of roasted chicken breast WITHOUT skin contains 187 calories, 4 grams of fat and 1.2 grams of saturated fat


    You save about 40 calories, 4.5 grams of fat and 1.3 grams of saturated fat per chicken breast just by cooking and eating it skinless.
