Hi everyone,

I buy Kirkwood (an Aldi brand) boneless skinless chicken breasts. They are in the fresh meat section.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how many calories one ounce of this brand of chicken has. I read that chicken breast nutrition facts vary depending on the brand. I've heard anywhere from 25 calories an ounce to 50 calories an ounce. This is a big difference when I eat 8 ounces in a day.

Can anyone help?

Here is what I get:

    But each breast has a different weight, otherwise that would work :-/ Thank you for trying! :)

    If 227g is equal to (roughly) 230 calories, you are looking at (about) 1 calorie per gram. If you use a food scale (highly recommend) this would make your life much easier!
