    I found this on the Internet


    •approx 46-47 calories in each ounce of grilled breast (skin removed)
    •approx 230-235 calories in a 5 oz grilled breast (skin removed)

    and

    Calories in a 5 oz grilled chicken breast
    The breasts can be cooked with the skin on and then removed or not before eating.

    With skin removed before eating there are:

    •approx 46-47 calories in each ounce of grilled breast (skin removed)
    •approx 230-235 calories in a 5 oz grilled breast (skin removed)
    With the skin left on and eaten there are:

    •approx 55-56 calories in each ounce of grilled breast including skin
    •approx 275-280 calories in a 5 oz grilled breast including skin.

    Good luck.......LLoyd
  • Thanks Lloyd. That was very helpful. :smile:
