    The roast chickens are an easy meal option, and obviously removing the skin is a good plan to avoid some fat and salt. Might want to avoid the drumsticks though as well and watch the portion control (400g=14oz... probably should be no more than 4-5oz)

    I always take skin off.
    Lol that's how i eat chicken cause i know 4 oz is like tasting it lol i don't feel full

    If health and satiety is a goal for you, why did you take the skin off, and why did you still eat so much? You aren't responding well to our well-intended warnings, but there's really nothing we can do. My personal experience with MFP has been nothing but positive - the way you are using the tools and reacting to the feedback, is alarming. This isn't good for you. Please, please, seek professional help!

    I took everything off and yes i wonna eat healthy but is eating 400 grams of chicken that bad? I know people who go to gyn and eat more?
    Why is it not healthy to eat that amount of chicken?
    And do you think 3 oz of chicken will be enough for a 107 KGs man.

    This sounds odd. Why would you buy a roasted chicken stuffed with mashed potatoes if you do not plan to eat it accordingly? Was this on sale or something?

    Nah, but some times you don't have time to cook yourself a meal so u just buy anything unless you have ur mama to cook for you!
    You know what it means

    Assuming it has nothing else added but the chicken -- which is EXTREMELY unlikely -- 400 g of a chicken (mixed parts) is about 950 cal. Without the skin it would be 760 cal, BUT you have to add back some fat that would have gotten into the chicken from being cooked with the skin, I'd add another 100 cal, probably. Seems like a huge amount of calories for just one component of one meal, and if you aren't eating anything else with it, not very balanced, but over the course of your day maybe it makes sense, beats me. Seems wasteful, though, and I'd make sure to read the ingredients.

    Personally I might recommend 6 oz of chicken (170 g), with or without skin, some vegetables, and maybe some potato. But again, depends on what else you are eating that day and your total calories.

    He bought a precooked chicken in a package that was stuffed with mashed potatoes even though he didn't want the skin on the chicken or the potatoes.

    So what? Tell me what is wrong with it? As i typed before if you got no one to cook for you and u got no time you'll get anything to eat!

    I usually eat large amounts of chicken, fish, lean steaks, some seeds. I never had any problems with that and i still lose weight.

    I would say it about 700 calories, i had some Brazilian sauce which i think it was like 100 grams and nothing else.
    The reason i had that is because the day before i stayed up till the morning and slept. Woke up at almost 4:30 pm so i had that amount and nothing else till the other day.

    Then why are you asking if it's okay to eat this chicken?

    I didn't mean if it's okay, the question was about the nutrition facts in this chicken because it had alpt of fat...

    I am a little bit confused with where this discussion is going.

    I have most certainly either eaten the skin or not eaten the skin. And sorry Kriss, even if you throw me out on my *kitten*, not eating the skin is absolutely acceptable!!!

    Mixed rotisserie chicken from which you're only eating the flesh can probably be summed up as a rough estimate at 1 calorie per gram of cooked weight before de-bonning and de-skinning. Or about two calories per gram of cleaned chicken meat.

    I can assure you that I ate several half chicken meals both in restaurants and at home while I was actively losing weight... and it doesn't seem to have caused me any particular harm.

    Wanting to figure out the approximate calories for restaurant half chicken meals led me to some food play time.

    www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/PAV8888/view/playing-with-my-food-rotisserie-chicken-740932

    A reminder that that was only 5 months into me using mfp so my precision and choice of entries who is only approximate :-)

    And yes I would most certainly advocate a pound or so of vegetables or salad like stuff to go with the chicken!!!

    Why are you worrying about what you're eating when you can apparently get rid of your fat a** by laughing? Does it work for other body parts?

    Yeah.. I wouldn't even pay no mind to that.

    I buy boneless skinless chicken 95% of the time.. So when I buy rotisserie chicken or a turkey you are damn right I am eating that skin. Screw that lol life's too short.
