Looks reasonable. As I am ever the trouble maker, I have to ask - are you actually weighing these portions, or are you guesstimating them? Either is a step in the right direction, I was just curious.

guessing. There is no convenient way to way them in the field as it were.

OK, then you need to remember that restaurants serve larger than average portions, and if the chicken is battered, you need to add calories equivalent to an extra bread roll. You also have to figure in more fat, as it gets absorbed into the batter while cooking. Still, keeping track is a Good Thing.
