I'm following Adkins. I thought this plan said that there are 0 carbs in chicken breasts. I boiled my breasts for shredding, so I used oven method, which gave me a carb count. I'm new to this, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong thinking..... :help:

Hi Ditzy,

I think they must be assuming flour or something similar is added, if it gives you any carbs at all for oven baked chicken. ;)

But rest assured, there are definitely no carbs whatsoever in chicken, unless they are somehow added.

When I add chicken to my entries in MyPLAN, I use the Chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, raw. Then if I add something to the chicken, such as cream or butter, I add them to my day's entries separately.
Same with eggs - I only ever just add plain egg, never scrambled, because "they" - I think the info all comes from the USDA - seem to assume we will add milk to scrambled eggs and so on.

Does that help? Let us know if you are still confused. :)

THank you! I am relieved I can use this tool! I desperately want to keep up with carb counts!

Thank you! I found it when I typed chicken breast!
