I have the Save with Jamie book and was looking at cooking his chicken stew and making into a shepherd's pie for dinner tonight with leftover chicken a sort of poultry farmer pie!
Anyway I was looking at his calorie count and IMO there is no way that the calories are correct.
chicken stew with mash - he reckons that for 4 - 300g chicken, 4 rashers of bacon,800g potatoes, 1 tablespoon of flour, glug of olive oil, knob of butter, 4 tbsp. of milk gives a calorie count of 332 each. Even conservatively I get 440.

If you eat it standing up, it's fewer calories

He must be using 'paperthin' half rashers of bacon. 0

Maybe he's trimming the bacon right down and using skimmed milk and lean chicken meat?0

I put it through a calorie counter I'm using to help me lose weight and it says 360 calories per portion. But that's with semi-skimmed milk, thin rashers of bacon with no fat, tsp of oil and 10g butter and chicken breast with the skin removed.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0
