[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1336771, member: 278312"] I've been reading this thread with interest, particularly the calculations for nutrients per day. I don't want to throw things off kilter, but can anyone tell me how to work out how much protein there is in an item of food? Say, a chicken thigh, 100g/4oz approx weight, but that would include bone, fat, and water for example, so isn't 100g of protein. I have been using the Carbs & Cals book for a lot of things, or sometimes the store websites, but have no idea how to work it out for myself. For example, chicken thigh isn't included in the book, so I just use the chicken drum figures, and guesstimate around the numbers as a rough guide; but I'd like to know how to do it properly. Same for pork shoulder, which I love, also not included in the book. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
