Normally there is none left but the cartilage and the middles of the bones. The chicken leg packs weigh around 650-700g most times. They are grain fed and have tons of fat on them. I love eating them both for lunch. But I do not get accurate results in the protein and fat ratio as they vary very greatly. What would be the true nutrition of a chicken leg (both legs) that weigh 500-800g? I don't want to consume too little protein not get protein poisoning.</p> <p>P.S. 500-800g per pack of 2 legs nutrient data would be very appreciated. Thanks Plus does that include the bones as well? Thanks!</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/148120/chicken-legs-how-much-is-too-much/148121#148121 Answer by Matthius for Chicken Legs How much is too much?

The polyunsaturated fat level is a tad high, but easily fits into the nutritional context of a day's eating. </p> <p>Do you feel well after eating it? Are your health markers looking good? Are you in control of your weight? If you can say yes to those three, then don't worry about it.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/148120/chicken-legs-how-much-is-too-much/151502#151502 Answer by borofergie for Chicken Legs How much is too much? borofergie 2012-09-23T22:19:42Z 2012-09-23T22:19:42Z <p>If you are chicken, any positive integer strictly greater than two is too many legs.</p>
