baby back ribs

Hello BBQ people

Does anyone know how many ounces of meat are on baby back ribs? I made them for dinner, they were super great. I slow cook them in the house on 200 for about 5-6 hours with a little BBQ Sauce and then add more sauce and put them under the broiler or on the BBQ (raining in Boston) until they look done, not long. The real way to cook them is with a dry rub until they are ready for the broiler/BBQ. My son does Texas BBQ catering and he taught me. His are the best! And his burnt ends (brisket) are to die for.

Thank you-cooks.

I goggled how many calories are in baby back ribs and one choice that popped up was Texas Roadhouse Baby Back Ribs half rack. One serving which I'm guessing is half a rack because it was wrote just like that, they did not specify anything else. It was 562 calories. That might help give you some idea.

I weigh mine before I eat them, then I weigh the bones after I've eaten the meat and come up with my ounces. I can usually only eat two of them, sometimes three. It all depends on how much meat is on the bone.

I had some baby backs at Stonefire Grill. When I put them in MFP, some options came up to log by the number of ribs eaten. Unfortunately, they are a lot more calories than chicken or lean meat!

I like Hockywife's method....weigh them before, and the bones after. Some are a lot meatier than others, so this would be the most accurate.

thank you everyone. What I want to know is how much food is on each rib. I did eat about 7-8 bones for dinner.They weren't very meaty but I felt comfortable eating that amount without getting stuck.
