Has anybody tried the chicken soup detox? I love chicken soup and wanted to see if anyone has tried it before?

No. Fad diets don't last.9

Any time you see/hear the word "detox", your BS meter should jump to '10'. Cleanses and detoxes are scams and do nothing beneficial for health, nutrition or weight loss.11

What exactly do you think you're detoxing?6

I love chicken soup but I don't know how to log it because I make my own stock using chicken bones and wings.

I looked at some of the recipes (just now). It looks healthy enough but it won't have special powers to make you lose weight and detoxing your system can mean so many things and nothing at all. If you tried to eat it for a prolonged period you will likely grow tired of it. I love pizza but I would never be happy eating it daily.

Someone will have entered that recipe generically so there's no way to tell if its accurate or not.1 -

Well yeah... but surely the USDA would have some kind of minimum standards. Or not? I mean... wouldn't an employee have had to enter it?0 -

but unless you saw a list of ingredients, you just wouldn't know. Enter your own recipe and then you will know and it'll be there for the next time to make it. 'Home made' means there will be huge variations.0 -

That's true. The problem I have is how I'd go about entering bones or, say, a chicken carcass that's left over after a roast chicken before I throw it in the pot to make the stock. I guess I could just pretend it's whole chicken and add a bit of calcium for what leeches out of the bones

We are de-railing this thread but yes, that's what I would do.0 -
What are you hoping to get out of this OP?
Weight loss? That comes from a sustained calorie deficit. Chicken soup can be a part of a diet that enables you to achieve this.
Detoxing something? What toxins, specifically?

Too much chicken soup, like too much of anything isn't good for you. You get the same macros over and over, and will be missing something. Better to mix things up and eat a variety.1

There is no way to be 100 percent accurate with this kind of thing. On that usda website the stock has fat. Well, I chill and remove mine. Gelatin contains calories but how much comes out of the bones? Speaking of bones I seldom use the same amount. I freeze whatever I have leftover and then eyeball how much I will use. Also, if like me, you throw in aromatics and then strain how much of any of that contributes to calories or carbs?
For me the answer is, I don't care. I know my chicken stock is not exactly 86 calories per cup but if it is 10 calories higher or 20 lower it is not going to have enough impact to change anything. Even if whatever I use it for, I eat 4 cups in a single day the worst is I am 40ish calories higher than I log even though I would be more likely to assume it would go the other way and I would be less than logged.8
