Calculating calories in whole chicken

Lets say a skinless whole chicken (raw) weighs around 1Kg. Is there any resource or rough estimation to note down how many calories it contains.

On a side note. If all the meat is removed from the cooked chicken and we minus the bones weight from the 1Kg of whole raw chicken; can we equate it to the calories in a chicken thigh or will the number of calories be way off ?

For example: 1Kg raw chicken - 270gms of bones after cooking = 730gms of raw boneless chicken. So can we note down that the calorie consumption is 730gms of raw chicken thigh ?

Answer

1kg whole chicken, meat, bones, fat, organs, skin, everything would be around 1600-2000 calories, depending on the amount of fat on the chicken. if you’re only going to eat the meat and attached fat, that would be about 900-1100 calories. if you use the bones for stock or whatever, that will be a some additional calories from the collagen protein that leaches into the water.
