Calories in Chicken?

[charger69]

Chicken comes in many cuts, including breasts, thighs, wings and drumsticks. Each cut contains a different number of calories and a different proportion of protein to fat. The calorie in the chicken is lower when it is skinless.

Unless you are competing, the difference is minimal and will not really matter.

I wouldn’t call it minimal, no matter what the circumstance. Even skinless, you’re talking a difference of 95:5 (breast), 70:30 (thigh), and 60:40 (wing).
That’s like saying there’s minimal difference between 96:4 ground beef and 73:27, when the difference is roughly 30-35% higher kcals in the latter, due to increased energy density from the lipids.
In any world, 30-35% is pretty damned notable, especially when you consider the protein intakes of your average resistance training population member.

Agreed it is different however not everyone will eat the same meal everyday like us. LOL
I am assuming that the individual is eating once or twice a week and is not tracking macros ( IOW- it fluctuates quite a bit). One chicken leg meat is like 160 calories.
Once you start getting into the single digit body fat, that is where this can make a difference however I will substitute dark meat for chicken breast even in single digits and you will not see an increase in fat or weight.
You would be surprised that altering your macros on paper will make you get fat, but in real life it doesn’t mean anything and your weight and fat stay the same. You do this repeatedly and yes you will see a difference build up.
