How many calories in roasted chicken legs?

michelegbowman · March 2011

Hi,

I ate two chicken legs that were roasted. I looked up the calories on this MFP site and was shocked to see it was listed at 536 calories. Is this really true? That's as many as a big mac. If I'd known, I would have eaten the big mac.

Puzzled and Disappointed. I thought I'd met my 1,200 calorie goal today.

I'd argue that roasted chicken legs are much better for you than a Big Mac since chicken isn't processed.

Was it 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks to make up 2 chicken legs? If so, that is quite a bit of food.

I googled calories in roasted chicken legs ( 1 cup diced) as having 325 calories, not sure if two chicken legs are more or less then 1 cup, hope that helps.
