        it lays it all out concisely. You can see that 1 wing has approx. 75 calories. It couldn't be any more clear.

        You’re why we have warning labels and calorie labels in the first place. You’re too fricking stupid to understand that you shouldn’t put your arm inside of a machine so we have giant red warning labels everywhere.

    Are you telling me there is only one wing in this container? Is it big? Is it worth putting one wing in plastic and selling it?

    dumb and illiterate is no way to go through life, son. see that second column? just to the right of the labels? its 150 calories for two wings.

    figure out how many wings you're eating and multiply.

      well that makes it easier, and should have said that on the package

      Who are you to be calling someone else illiterate? It's 150kcal per 3OZ EDIBLE PORTION (84g), nothing to do with the number of discrete wings. The package contains "about 2" 3oz edible portions; the entire container is 340kcal for 197g or 2.345 ("about 2") edible portions. Plus you're ignoring the sauce.

      The basic answer is that it's 340+35=375kcal for the whole shebang, and that's all you need to know, because who tf besides an anorexic child is eating less than ~7oz of wings at a time.

        how are a bag of wings only 375 cals?

          because it's only wings, look at the sodium and protein content, it's nothing but meat, carbs are significantly more calorie dense than meat

            wings arent healthy and are a lot of cals when u look at the nutrition at b dubs or hooters

              That's because bdubs/hooters/wingstop breads their chicken to be more breading than chicken then baths it all in bbq sugar sauce, that's why it's a lot calories

              Wings don't have to be unhealthy. Chicken meat is kino protein and basic grilled wings with a modest seasoning are fine. It only starts to become unhealthy when you begin adding saline injections, breading, deep-frying, and dipping sauces.

          Either the bag is small, or maybe it contains multiple separate 375kcal "containers". OP, could you post a pic of the whole bag?

              Yeah, I mean I guess 375kcal/bag still sounds reasonable as long as they sauce is not too sugary. Those are bone-in, right? So ignore the bones and the saline injections, and the 16oz bag could just have 7oz of actual meat as the label suggests. And assuming the wing meat is comparable to chicken tenderloin, that's just about 180kcal, leaving the rest of the 375kcal for the oil, sauce, etc. Seems legit.

                Checked, but as long as the supps are inexpensive and do not become a lazy substitute for real nutrition/exercise, I think a little vitamin pill ritual can help to reinforce the mindset.

              So this is 453g total.
              Nutrition facts only display for 281g (one package edible + one packet)

              If we assume that the 197g is wrong, and it's more like 369g of chicken (and the sauce is still 84g) then...

              if 197g = 340 calories, 369g = ~636 calories
              plus 35 calories from sauce = ~671 calories

              if the package total of 453g is bullshit and the serving size is legit, that'll be 375 calories total

                You're forgetting the bones. The nutrition label only accounts for the EDIBLE portions of that 453g. If OP is eating the bones too, then he may need to consult the Shrekweb for alternative data.

                Fair point, but I think they'd advertise "boneless" on the bag in that case. Plus, see pic related.

    You're going to keep getting shit OP but there is indeed some frickery afoot.
    per container: about 2
    >>((about 2))
    They could have easily defined the serving size as exactly 1/2 the container size (at a cost of 20 more calories/serving).

    Another ((trick)), they are allowed to omit the nutritional cost of ingredients below a certain amount, so they define the serving size to fall below that threshold. (That's how our can of avocado-oil spray supposedly contains zero calories per serving.)

    But although the FDA is thoroughly cucked, we should still be grateful for labeling requirements, even if they're needlessly complex and ballpark estimates at best.

    Not only is it intentionally made to be somewhat misleading, the nutritional information is straight out wrong unless you fall within the average range of human mass with a basal metabolic rate of 2000cal a day. (protip: that's like a 175lb/25yo human, if you weigh less or are older or have a slower metabolism, eating the 2000cal "recommended" diet puts you into a state of excess caloric intake.

    The misinformation spread regarding nutritional science is absolutely fricked and nobody really understands that a nutritional plan MUST be made unique to a person's lifestyle AND biology. That's why everyone is fat, they don't understand nutrition at all and lack the self control to stop consooming

      if looking at the calories per container then the amount is obviously one (1) container. it doesn't say there's one wing in the container, just that one container is one container
