What's the nutritional value of a drumstick of chicken?

[DVad3r]

Drumstick of chicke, or leg, whatever. Normal sized, actually organic.

I'm searching online and getting some crazy results which I don't think are true...

Anyone?

Over 9000

over 9000 calories, that is correct. :sneaky:

 

[RaistlinZ]

Probably depends on how it's cooked. Baked? Fried? Skinless?

Need moar info.

how is that correct? 308 calories and 33.8 grams of protein???

This thing is baked in the oven plain...

It's an organic drum stick...regular size...

It's asking for a login/password.

That info is for one CUP of meat. The amount of meat on an average grocery store chicken leg is 2 oz. or ~ 135 calories

Yo thanks people!!! You guys are the best!

I'm trying to split up my meals so I don't eat too much protein at one time and waste it...

you should make an account since you are incapable of finding this information on your own

I'm afraid to ask but, how would eating a sufficient amount of protein (even an entire days worth) at one sitting be wasting it?

Wow you are so mean!

I was under the same process of thought, but apperently 20 grams is the golden number that you can process at one sitting, and eating more would be just shitted out...

Eat 20, then eat 20 more in an hour, etc.

I get this info from the March issue of Men's Health Magazine...

 

[DVad3r]

They tested like a bunch of people, people who ate 20 grams, or people who ate 90 grams, etc. They all had the same results, the people who ate more just wasted it.

It's ok, but I'm not rich, and organic meats are expensive yo.

What type of people were tested? Sloths, active, etc?

Don't waste money on "organic" food then?
