I cook it 5-6 lbs at a time and eat it throughout the week, so weighing it uncooked would mean I'd have to cook it all separately, which takes a lot more time as well as store each portion in its own container, where as if I were going to weigh cooked chicken, I could just use one container and take out as much as I need when needed.

CalorieCount, Livestrong, Myfitnesspal, and Nutritiondata are all useful for looking up nutritional information.

Yea, that's where I was looking. They just all had conflicting info for cooked chicken; though pretty much all the same for uncooked chicken, but Clash's idea should work perfectly.

Calories/g x g of chicken = calories of the 5-6 lb bag of chicken.

Weigh it after cooking; divide total calories by new number of grams to get calorie/gram cooked

What I was going to suggest, but the question is so vague and the explanation so oddly worded that I just kind of shrugged and moved on.

Another question then. How would I go about getting someone to ghost write my life story? Would I just email a magazine or something my blog?

Keep in mind, you might start with 6lbs uncooked, then after you cook it you might only have 5.5lbs. Majority of that disappeared weight is going to be water that gets cooked out. Like 95%.

**Cream Soda** · 2013-01-13 15:38

I'd still have the same total number of calories/protein though, no? Since water doesn't have either of those?

I was thinking of doing it like this.

Do the math for total number of calories of the chicken. Then divide the calorie number by # of grams of cooked chicken to get calorie/gram

This is the strangest conversation I've ever witnessed by a black man about chicken.

any inaccuracies using this method would be trivial I think

Just so everyone knows I went and saw Jack Reacher and it was probably the best action movie of late that you can take a girl to.

There was nothing extremely violent in it, it was Bourne-esque where he could take on multiple dudes, but he did it with a lot of humor. She actually paid attention the entire time, and said she liked it afterwards. She even talked about scenes, I was in complete shock. It was a little detective-y though and slows down a bit and attention is required, but she actually got the movie which was nice. As mentioned, she fell asleep during TDKR.

**Manako** · 2013-01-14 10:04

Dunno if this helps... but there are different caloric values depending on how you cook the chicken

Just from a glance, looks like pretty obvious stuff, like breaded chicken, rolled in flour, etc.

I just use my 0 calorie seasoning, 0 calorie non-stick cooking spray, throw it on the skillet and put the lid on, come back 10 mins later and done; I don't use any additives such as flour, batter, etc.

So, I got another media question. I know I don't post a lot of funny shit on here but in real life I'm actually pretty funny and a friend today told me I should go into stand up. Everyone around me agreed with him. Even people I don't know. A few people have agreed to help me write a skit using some of my life stories and my own thoughts on the world. I just want to know has anyone tried it and if there are any topics I should stay away from and if people here think I'd have a chance?

I was thinking of doing some race humor, gender human, and a lot of my medical stories exaggerated a bit to be more funny. Also, I'll be including the story of how I met my girlfriend cause apparently everyone I tell it to finds it hilarious.

**Jefe** · 2013-01-15 15:30

Do you have thick skin? If you have the balls to do some stand up on an open mic night, be ready because sometimes the audience is cruel. They make BG look like a bunch of light flyweight pussies. That being said, check out your local 'laugh factory.' Race humour... I'm guessing you already have a bunch of people doing it. I guess you should try medical stories, or maybe scat humour. It's something you're familiar w/, besides you're testing the waters. If you get a decent reaction you can think of other material. Btw, two minutes on stage feel like an eternity, or so they say...

**Quandl** · 2013-01-16 11:39

So some guy got in contact with me wondering if I'd part with my Twitter handle for his website/startup. He offered me lifetime membership to a site I don't know Wtf purpose it serves. How much can I wring from him, or should I tell him to hit himself with a water bottle?

**Silenka** · 2013-01-16 14:34

Race and gender humor are the two things I am starting to not be able to stand. Been watching comedians on Netflix and almost all of them use race and gender as their go-to material, joking about almost nothing else. It's really a drag at this point.

Compare to George Carlin, who made fun of society in general. He could turn almost anything into a legitimately funny joke through commentary on it. Let's see more of that, please. Medical stories would fit in there too, but please... the race and difference between men and women stuff is getting old.

How to potty train children?

My son is 20 months old and we're trying to get him to go on the plastic toilet.

Definitely use the Spray bottle.

**Delayed** · 2013-01-16 21:21

Cheerios! make it a game. aim for them!

**Aksannyi** · 2013-01-17 06:29

20 months seems young. I don't remember the potty training years all that well, but I do know that the kids won't use it until they're ready. If the kid shows interest in the potty then he may be ready to start using it. I know that just by me saying, "Mommy's gotta go potty," my kid would repeat it, but he otherwise wasn't interested in it at all.

It's a long and painful process though, so I wish you a lot of luck. Neither of my kids were fully potty trained until they were late three/early four.

You're definitely starting early. My sister and all of our friends with kids didn't really start pushing until their kids were 2 - 3 years old.
