    Are you sure about your cal counts?

    2 tbsp of oil = 224 cals alone, and you haven't given any quantity for the chicken.
    Plus the 2 tbsp of sesame seeds = 103 cals...

    Positive about the count on my serving. I made a batch of the stir-fry that yields about 10-12 "me size" servings. 1,300 calories if you ate it all yourself, but divided by 10-12... about 127 calories a serving.

    As for the chicken, I used the database to tell me how many calories for a chicken leg without the skin.

    So that recipe is for 10-12 servings? Plus chicken?

    Might be worth seeing if you can edit your recipe to indicate that as it looks like its one serving (albeit a large one)

    The stir-fry itself serves 10-12... the chicken I logged separate since I didn't want it in the stir-fry (I just cut a leg off for myself and that is what has been included in the logging) It wouldn't be difficult to tweak for any of your families, but because of my husband's lunch situation I keep meats separate from other foods... Point being, you guys have the guidelines, if you log the recipe yourself once you have altered it to suit your own family I think you will be surprised it is a nice low calorie supper that doesn't compromise on taste.
