Are these numbers correct? page

According to fitday, a chicken leg weighing 200 grams (raw and with bone in) roasted and eaten with skin on would have the following:

460 calories
26.7 g fat
51.5.g protein
0 carb

Is that right?

It seemed high to me until I calculated that 200 grams is 7 ounces, not quite half a pound.

That's right. We calculate by grams in Europe. I think the weight is pretty average for a whole chicken leg here.

Your results seem a little high. I usually use this site for a quick look up: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...products/714/2 It's close to your results, just a little lower....they calculate by 100 g (with a convenient drop down to choose whichever measurements you prefer)

So annoying and confusing, the fact that you get different sites and books with different figures! Thanks kennelmom, I'll have a look at the site.

Perhaps it's the entire leg with thigh attached, not just the drumstick itself.
