Doing Some Maths on Rotisserrie Chicken - Advance Keto Diet Concepts.

[petesgn]

So I have ditched my old diet and my new Keto-genic diet comprises of me eating half a Rotisserrie chicken a day along with some vegetables split into two meals a day.

This is ALL I eat a day apart from some Amino Acid supplements and Creatine.

Now I estimate that this comes to approximately 1500 calories a day.....BUT I suspect I am actually getting much less than that.

On the back of the chicken package label it says that each 100g of chicken is 200 calories, 19g Protein, 13g Fat and 1.2g carbs.

Also an average chicken weighs 1.5kilos (1500 grams), and I eat half of it each day.

Therefore if I am eating 750 grams of Rotisserie chicken a day, that means I am getting.

1500 calories (750g divided by 100 = 7.5 x 200 calories = 1500)
142.5g Protein.
97.5g Fat
9g Carbs.

......BUT does the back of the label INCLUDE ALL THE BONES, that I am NOT eating in the chicken??

Also I am taking OFF the skin where all the fat is usually so am I really getting 97.5g fat??

Hmmmm.....I suspect not.

So how do I calculate this properly?

Do I take the bones out first and then weigh the chicken meat and base it on that?  

And what about the skin if I am taking it off???

I think I am probably getting more like 50g fat than 97.5 and probably closer to 1000 calories so should I add in a 3rd meal??

I am starving the whole time (training twice a day) but the weight is flying off but I don't wanna lose muscle?

So what you think about this diet?

Carry on or modify?

Just keep burning 5000 calories a day like you said, and you should be fine.

I am not doing MMA training at the moment but if I did my TDEE would easily exceed 5000 calories a day.

I'd say it would probably be closer to 6000-7000.

And no fucking way you can do Keto while doing MMA training, you would literally faint

[Mr Anabolic]

Add 3-4 almonds... you be fine.

[petesgn]

So in all seriousness do you think my diet is OK now compared to the last one I posted?

I don't think you can get more solid than what I am eating right now.

half a chicken a day + Vegetables.

Obviously its working cos I am losing ton of weight but I keep worrying about losing muscle.

I don't believe Keto diet needs to be "high fat" at all.

I am from the Lyle McDonald school of thinking.

I think his books are the bible on the subject.

His works got me done to 8% before and will do again, its just tough eating chicken everyday.

X10 I've tried to read this twice and i can't even get half way through before I stop giving a fuck

[Big Chiro Flex]

This won't last a week.

"Add 3-4 almonds... you be fine."
- NO! 4-5 will do the magic...

He's done this about hundred times

Why Rotisserie chicken? Why not baked or grilled chicken? Or even chicken of the sea?
Why all this complicated stuff? Even Shawn Ray said that he doesn't get into all of that.

[NaturalWonder83]

If u worry about cals in rotisserie then your life is done

How many more times throughout the upcoming years will you will posting questions/strategies concerning various types of chicken meat?

Nobody cares.

He's consistent in that he likes the rotisserie chicken. He's posted about that before. Makes me think that he actually isn't able to cook anything.

[d0nny2600]

Whats wrong with just counting calories instead of eating 2 shitty meals

It aint rocket science...eat less than you burn and you will lose weight. Snort coke when weight loss stalls

So getting back on track with this thread, the only questions you need to concern yourself with and answer are as follows.

A) If I am eating half chicken a day (WITHOUT THE BONES AND SKIN) how many calories am I getting and what is the macro breakdown?

Here is all the info you need.

Experts need reply only.

Get a scale, they are like $35 on Amazon. Strip the meat off and weigh it. 7g protein/oz.

So basically cook the chicken with the bones.

Then take out all the bones.

Then weigh the actual cooked meat and go on that right???

Makes sense.

Also what about the fact that I am taking the skin of the meat?

How much fat am I getting??

It affects the total calorie count alot if I am getting say 50g fat instead of 100g.

Personally, I don't worry too much about the skin, but it does add to the fat and the calories. Do this, weigh just the meat, without the skin. Then weigh the skin. Assume the skin is roughly 100% fat. Do the math(s) from there.

That'll give you a good +/- 10% on every rotisserie chicken you buy and you can plug your numbers in from there.

A scale is a really smart investment for non-Adonis dieters if for no other reason than to get a good idea what certain macro amounts look like in food.

Yeah that makes sense and is pretty smart.
If I assume 100% skin is fat I can even fuck around and have the skin half the time and not the other half.
Keeps it interesting.
