Man the calorie count for this is all over the place.

I get anywhere from 33 per ounce w/o the bone to 400 with the bone in.

I cook this alot, it's great to take to lunch and easy for the hubby to grab a snack.

Does anyone know the closest calorie count for lean skinless dark meat?

    why not just use the boneless numbers?

    edit: weigh your food.. eat the meat.. weigh the remaining bone. difference is what you ate.

    I never realized it was so off!!

    I LOVE skinless thighs!! I actually buy the bone in w/ skin and remove skin and bone myself!! It's really easy! They pan sear soo quick too once the bone is gone! Great for stir frys!

    I usually only eat 3 oz. The best advise I can say is check the back of the package you buy it in!!
