    Just wondering if anyone could tell me roughly what kind of nutritional breakdown a chicken breast from spar has? The normal breaded little lovelys. Had a look at fitday but they're saying they have tonnes of fat, I was expecting more carbs and protein cause they're roasted.

    Nobody can give you the nutritional breakdown of a Spar breaded chicken breast because each company manufactures their breaded chicken in their own way. You could ask Spar who supplies them and then check with the supplier.

    Other than this, I suggest that you go to the supermarket and look up the nutritional information on the packets of breaded chicken fillets, and conclude an average.

    I would say they would contain approx twice the calories of a fresh chicken breast, so not an optimal food choice.

    Exactly, this is what I do all the time, same for fresh veg, just look at packs with info, it will not be far off.

    Yes, I think it is around 260kcal on ones I checked before. And of course 2x130kcal normal breasts is a far better choice.
    tonnes of fat, I was expecting more carbs and protein cause they're roasted.
    They are all usually partially cooked, they would be breaded and probably deep fried quickly, then you roast it after to reheat of finish off the cooking. Loads of fat will fall out of them and if you blot them with tissue loads is left.
