How can I know how many calories is in a portion of roast chicken? I like to have the leg and some dark meat with the skin but it's hard to know how big a leg the generic measurements are for. Also I can't weigh it as it has the bone. Any tips? I love a roast chicken on a Sunday and rarely make it because I don't know how to count it.

Take the meat off the bone, then weigh it.4

This is the sort of thing that will get easier with experience. You pre-log what you think the serving will be to get an idea, and then you go back and correct your log with the correct weight to have an accurate record.
If you want to know exactly how much it is before you eat it, you would have to take it off the bone and weigh it.2 -

oh yeah! pre-logging lets you know if you can eat more or less without going over your macros by accident. Cannot trust your eyes to judge what is the true amount.
