    150g of roast chicken is 10kc per 100g, 150 of cajun chicken is 108kc per 100g. This makes the ones with the flavouring less fattening? Would have thought the opposite!

    Chicken breast is about 100 kcal per 100 g. Perhaps you misread it? Or perhaps it is mostly water not much chicken , do you have link to the packet?

    I don't.

    I definitely didn't read wrong.

    I know the roast chicken was chicken pieces, and the cajun chicken was slices. Either way it works out better as cajun is yummmmm. :P

    There is no way it is 10kcal per 100g, so if you did not misread it then its a mistake or misprint/typo (dropping a 0).

    Calories are only an estimate of what energy you will get from it, or how fat it will make you.

    e.g. if you ate 500kcal of sugar each day for a year you could possibly put on more fat than it if was 550kcal of chicken each day. Its by no means an exact science.

    Left out a zero alright!!!

    108 for the cajun
    133 for the roast.

    I would guess the roast chicken is drier, so has a lower water content as suggested earlier. So the calories go up naturally.

    To compare them better you can look at the protein contents/%, I would bet the roast is higher. This would make it more filling "per 100g" so less likely to snack later on.
