Chicken wing nutrition breakdown

As I’m currently food diarising (is that even a word?), I’m trying to get my head around this.

On the Sainsbury’s website, there are nutritional breakdowns for packs of chicken wings (meaning the full wing) and chicken drumsticks.
- wings
- drums

The breakdown per wing is 205kcal. The breakdown per drumstick is 77kcal. Frankly, when I’m having wings for dinner, I like to have 4 whole wings (I don’t usually bother cooking the tips, so it’s the drumette and middle parts) which means around 800 kcal? :eek:

Am I interpreting the nutrition stuff right? I may have to rethink my ‘pigging out on wings’ policy. :frowning:

I find it hard to believe a wing has more calories than a drum.

Wings have a higher bone to meat ratio. Furthermore, IMO wing meat is more dry than drumsticks.

I’m not an expert though.
