    Is my math right ? grams/oz blah blah blahhhhhh

    I am looking for a total of 6 oz of chicken

    I am have a scale which measures in grams.

    1 oz is 28 grams
    my prepare plate is 143 grams so the total i need is:

    168g (chicken)
    143g (plate)
    total
    311g

    Now the package measures my chicken as this:

    Serving Size 4 oz. (112 g)

    Calories 120 (6%)
    Total Fat 2.5g (4%)
    Total Carbohydrate 1g (0%)
    Protein 22g

    So if 112grams = 120 calories
    thats means there are 30 calories is each which means

    For 6oz (311g)=
    180 calories ?
    3.75 fat
    1.5 carbs
    33 pro

    Math is not my strong suit so don't kill me.
    total

    Actually if you want to get technical an oz is 28.35 grams

    thus 6 oz is 170.1 grams
    chicken + plate = 313.1

    sounds like it's time to get a scale that does either oz or g :-) i thought the u.s. was all english system, not metric - where'd you get a metric scale?
