Logging bone-in chicken breast?

missiontofitness

I just want to make sure that I am doing this correctly. I purchased a bone-in chicken breast with the skin on it. I plan on cooking it with the bone still in and with the fat untrimmed until I'm done cooking. Should I weigh it before cooking, and again after it's done and I've cut away the meat from the fat and bone to log it in my diary? Thanks!

Personally I cook it then weight the porting I eat and use the chicken breast cooked entry.

Weigh the portion you eat-- you only need to record the actual weight of what you eat. If you aren't consuming the trimmings, don't log or weigh them.

My chicken i weight after it is cooked and then after i am done eating it i weight what is left. It gives me a better accounting of how much i actually ate in my opinion.

I've worked as a line cook in many a restaurant, broken down a chicken whole many a time. The average weight of the breast including the skin(best part) is between 200 and 220 grams. That's raw weight. Hope that helps.
