| I did finally figure out how to see your food tracker and I think what I described in my previous post is what you did. You have entered in that you ate 2 FULL chicken breasts rather than 2 breast halves and that does indeed equal 519 calories! So, you can figure you ate 250 calories less than you thought!

| If the chicken you ate is like what I usually cook (boneless, skinless chicken breast HALVES) you may have put 2 FULL chicken breasts in the nutrition tracker. When I buy chicken it is in half breasts, so two pieces of chicken make one full breast. If you put in 2 Full breasts, it's like saying you ate 4 pieces of chicken. That probably would add up to 500 calories.

| Hi I thunk you may have highlighted the wrong item in the drop down because after reading your blog I went to the drop down and tryed chicken two different way and put 2 breasts both times and the total for 4 breasts two fried and 2 baked did not even go over 400 calories so please eat that chicken it's good and good for you

500 calories ? How was it cooked? Did it have the skin on it? That seems very high to me. You will need to weigh and measure your food to get accurate counts for the tracker.
When you looked it up, what exactly was the wording for the item and the measurement used. Maybe someone can help you from there.

hi i know every dieter surrounds themselves with chicken-based meals..but as i enter my calorie ranges in spark using the nutirtion tracker..it seems like chicken is a counter-diet item.. i had 2 pieces of chicken breast last night... i didnt/dont weigh my food.. so im assuming selecting chickn breast from the drop down menu in the tool should calaculate a just about right figure............ u mean to tell me 2 pieces of chicken breast has 500 calories!??
why the heck then do so many people turn to it when trying to loose weight if its packed with sooo many calories????????????????
help please!!!!!
