    home cooked version won't be the same. Go with the info on the box.

    I agree change it to fit what the box says. I would rather say i have too many calories and be under for real than the other way around.

    I agree. Go with the info on the box. It's better to be safe than sorry. Some of the info in the database is not always accurate. Some of them say corrected.

    a lot of the food on here is entered by members!! Most of the food that I eat I enter the info myself or I enter the exact brand and name and if the calories match the box ill use that. There are so many different kinds of chicken and ways of cooking etc. Each person does it differently therefor there are going to be many different calorie options.
