don't do this to yourself or you'll just drive yourself crazy. There are going to be things (dining at a friends, dining at a restaurant, etc) where you are not going to have exact numbers and the best you can do is a close guestimate. It is not going to kill you efforts if you are a little over or under on occasion.
Even the items provided on fast food or restaurant websites are not always exact...different regions or different brands can be a little off.
In general if you don't have the nutritional info use 1 point per 1 ounce cooked for the chicken provided there is no skin and no oil used in preparation. Spices are freebies.
I actually get about 6 oz of boneless skinless chicken breast from Costco that works out to 4 points.
Suzanne provided you a good reference for nutritional info but there are some others out on the web:
Calorie King
Diet Facts
and the USDA website at
