Hey there all,

I have just noticed that FitDay reckons that there is 15 grams of fat in a medium chicken breast. I'm sure that this is too much. I usually have 2 medium or large chicken breasts for dinner (I am on a cut BTW), and according to my eating plan that always pushed my fat grams way up. For some reason I have never noticed this before. I find it very hard to incorporate fat in my diet so I am making sure that I get some peanut butter (tbls per day) and fish oil (2 X capsules salmon oil), and maybe some lite salad dressing or something but I feel that the 15 grams (30 for 2) of fat in a chicken breast (which is pushing my fat for the day way over the limit) is a bit inaccurate.

Can this be right?

Kind Regards,

Preach

Their calculations are most likely based on chicken breast WITH skin.

Best to use the uncooked weight without skin to get the best estimate. So weigh your breasts before cooking......

err, that didn't come out right.... :D
