    You're having a hard time with the chicken! I hope it didn't cross a road! :smile:
    Responded with details in your other thread.

    Not gonna lie, I used my usda entry for "chicken, broilers or fryers, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted" to come up with that number.

    But was it baked or roasted? How dry? Hence the multiple entries and small differences.

    Hence the weigh it raw to count the calories. Then weigh it as cooked to count the yield of your final product so that you now have calories per gram of final product. Then weigh what you eat!

    *Technically I also wait till the food has finished cooling because there is continuing moisture loss and weight reduction while that happens... but that's because no one (with good reason) will let me in a real lab, so I play at home!
