I ate a fried chicken breast from kfc for supper with the breading and skin removed. The calorie count is 160, but that can't be right can it?

    The calories may be right, it's probably the sodium and the fat that are the bigger issue.

    KFC posts their nutrition guide; check out what you ate on there:

    ...not to mention the MSG and Carcinogens they add to their products...

    that sounds almost to little. honestly ate kfc the very first day i started using MFP and i SWORE to never eat it again. i was appalled at the calorie count in most of there foods.

    They are right. It's just very bad calories, lots of fat and grease and animal fat and salt. It's yummy death.

    It's right! You'll just feel a little gross from the fat and sodium. But it's right. :)

    If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

    Make your own and bake it instead of frying it. It'll be delicious.

    Since you removed the skin/breading, I would think the calories are pretty darned close to right. Chicken breast has about 120 calories per 3.5 oz serving.

    All chicken is high in cholesterol and now with the recent FDA scandal (admitting that there are carcinogens in the chicken feed made by one of Pfizer's companies), it's getting to the point that it's unhealthy enough even WITHOUT the fried/skin/breading part. =\

    I do not think it is right, on their website the 160 count is without skin or breading, i'm presuming those breasts were never breaded and cooked without their skin....if YOU took the breading and skin off then they were cooked with it and so they would have absorbed more of the calories from the fat in the skin. I could be wrong but an 100g baked, plain skinless breast is around 130...add any fats from the skin etc and the amount would be bumped up significantly. I'd actually go for calories in the middle of the breaded and bread less ...better to over estimate than under estimate
