    This may sounds really nit picky but i'm really just trying to follow the rules.

    So I've been putting my chicken breast into fitday and it claims to be 125 calories for 3.5 oz raw (2.25 oz cooked) for cooked boneless chicken. After reading some other calorie counters and things this ranges from 80-100 calories on most other sites. I have been extremely frustrated not being able to eat any veggies when I eat chicken but I think I've been counting it too high.

    Here is what I've been counting for my entire day. I've been eating 2.25 oz per meal of chicken.
    chicken - 250
    medium apples - 150
    wasa - 60
    veggies - only 40???

    This is pretty much salad. I mean 10 spears of Asapargus is 60 calories. I've been having to cut out my wasa/melba toast to even eat a few green beans if I chose not to eat salad but it's doesn't feel right.

    How many calories is your 3.5 oz chicken? I am just buying boneless breasts from Harmons and I trim all fat but there isn't.

    Thanks

    I don't count calories on P2. I just weigh my meat, eat my 2 fruits and have a decent size helping of veggies...1 - 2 cups

    Make sure you check BREAST. It's lower in calories. and you need the full amount of chicken.

    Wasa? You mean like Wasa crackers? That's not on protocol and has more calories than allowed. The allowed breadstick is like 10 calories.

    bouscher,

    yeah I was thinking I should do the same. My friend told me going over 500 calories is really bad on this protocol and Dr. Simeon stressed 500 calorie limit as well. I guess trying to be too perfect will drive me crazy. But would be nice to know why my chicken count seems higher than most.

    grammy,

    You are right I had just regular chicken breast chosen on fitday which seems like it was counting the skin. I found the skinless option! Yeah the 2.25 is cooked I do eat the full 3.5(raw).

    And sorry I meant Melba. I see people call it Wasa but I just realized they are different lol. You can see I never shopped in a diet isle :)

    Appreciate the input. That saved me 45 calories so now I can up my veggies!!

    Oh good! I was scared you were going over your calories with the wasa. Most people find they lose better without the melba though, just fyi.

    Wookey, I use FitDay and rather than rely on their counts, I always enter my own custom foods either from the packaging info or from my calorie/carb count book. That way I know the counts are accurate. It may seem like a lot of work, but you only have to add it once and it really doesn't take all that long.

    Your apple count is really high as well. Most places put medium apples at around 80 calories and large ones at 100 calories.
