    I do the exact same thing. I guess I assumed that the difference in the calories was just because one company trimmed off a bit more fat than the other. I always trim off all the fat anyways so I just disregard the difference and calculated around the lowest of the brands.

    Curious to see if anyone thinks differently tho...

    if you know the exact macros, you can calculate the calories or anything yourself. it has to be the fat content since i cant imagine chicken breast having more than a gram or two of carbs

    Don't forget to take into account some chicken products are "enhanced" with 15-20% of a solution of water, salt, phosphate or water, salt, evaporated cane juice.

    These definetely can impact the nutritionals, especially the macros. I sell the products day in and day out and even products labeled all natural ingredients can be suspect.
