Weird question, but i ate a chicken breast today that was 4 oz, on the package and everywhere else on the internet it says like 140 calories for it, but on here it says over 200....am i dumb or am i just missing something? please help

No, I've been VERY confused about the FD's chicken calories myself.

First tip: This is not an exact science. Even if things are a little off, as long as you stick to your program you'll lose the weight, so don't sweat it.

Second tip: There are a lot of options for chicken breast here. Pick the one that most closely resembles in (calories) what your package says. If you're not satisfied with the results, create a custom food.

Skin on or skin off makes a big difference in calorie count. Check if the FD option is skin on.

Most accurate way is to go to Browse foods, instead of Search. Find poultry, then chicken, then breast, then how prepared, then with or without skin. I do chicken breast this way and it comes up to about 45 calories an ounce, cooked, which is probably similar to your 4 oz uncooked (I assume) at about 140 calories (weight is lost during cooking). Alternatively, you could always enter the info from the package as a custom food.
