Thanks everyone for the responses. To follow up, I ate ALL of the chicken and it was an incredibly delicious, fantastic, glorious meal. I have yet to grow any chicken wings and will follow up again the morning. On a serious note, to clarify it was 15.5oz of chicken. A lot of chicken!! 89g of protein. I'll probably start…

Thanks for the responses everyone. Really great information. My BMR is correct and I'm not overeating. Maybe I should focus on the nutritional value in my food.

Thanks for responding WBB55, FitnessPal has me calculated to intake 1960 calories a day and I normally have 200-300 left over. Some days 50-60 calories remaining. So really I'm intaking, on average, around 1600-1700 calories a day. I measure meats and fruits in oz on a digital scale for accuracy. I'm working with a trainer…

I appreciate the advice WBB55. I think I've been measuring calories pretty accurately for the most part, but I'm taking your recommendation in using a digital scale. I'm picking one up first thing tomorrow.
