About how many average chicken wings would compare to a 7 ounce portion of chicken?

My boyfriend is on a strict diet (medfast) and we watch his portions. he was told he could have chicken wings as his meat portion, but i am very strict as to how much meat he gets. About how many wings could he eat to replace a 7 ounce portion of chicken?

1. If you're going by calories, one chicken wing with skin is 100 calories. One seven ounce chicken breast is 210 calories, so roughly, two wings equals one 7 ounce chicken breast. Without the skin, one chicken wing has only 43 calories, so five wings has the same amount of calories as a 7 ounce chicken breast. If you're going by weight, a chicken wing has 1 ounce of meat, so seven wings would equal 7 ounces of meat.
