What percentage of my chicken legs are bone
I usually buy chicken legs in a pack of four from the supermarket and the packet comes at 1000grams.
This would mean that each leg should be 250 grams.
I am trying to calculate how many calories are in each leg after I cook them. (I cook them on the bone without the skin in the oven)
I usually eat my chicken legs on the go so weighing them before and after I eat the meat is not an option.
I am not sure if my chicken legs would be considered small, medium or large and am trying to calculate the amount of calories I eat when I eat each chicken leg.
If anybody has any idea this would be of great help

Answer 2
I'll refer to this article: Cost and Yield Comparison of Ready-To-Cook Chicken Product by J.H. Denton and D.B. Mellor, Extension Poultry Marketing Specializtis, The Texas A&M University System, Texas Agricultural Extension Service L-2290
This is Table 1 of the article:
The table assumes you start with 1 pound of the chicken product, and the quantities in the raw column are the weight of the meat&skin (or meat) that's edible. The cooked columns are the amount of edible stuff after cooking in those methods (so a fried chicken has the coating, meat and skin, for example).
Answer 3
1/4th to 1/3 rd is normal for bone in fowl. Larger legs are on the low side for bone. Small legs on the high side for bone. When buying fowl. The bigger the fowl the less bone to meat ratio. This is for rough figuring. On chicken & turkey at the store. Legs would be 50 t0 60% bone. Breast far less. bone. Per. meat. This is raw fowl. This is why when you buy a turkey at thanksgiving you always buy one over 18lb. For max. meat to bone ratio. Same with chicken. Ducks are different build.
Answer 4
I did a little research for you and found that 250gr of chicken equals 8.8oz. From there, I looked into cooked chicken legs on the bone with no skin and I found that 8.8 oz. of that specific kind of chicken nets you 316.7 calories. I hope this helps.
