Correct calories in chicken???

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help, when I am trying to add a standard chicken breast to my daily diary I am so confused by the variation of calories of different options to choose from! Surely chicken is just chicken?! How many calories per 100g is a standard chicken breast with nothing added please?

I weigh my chicken by the ounce (idk why since I weigh everything else in grams). But I log my chicken as 4oz(113g) for 120cals - 26P 0C 1.5F
