How do you get your calcium-

Chicken leg and thigh, roasted. Bone in, no skin.
Man the calorie count for this is all over the place. I get anywhere from 33 per ounce w/o the bone to 400 with the bone in. I cook this alot, it's great to take to lunch and easy for the hubby to grab a snack. Does anyone know the closest calorie count for lean skinless dark meat?
