When they say that XXX calories for XX oz of chicken, is that before or after you cook it?

    I always figure it to be raw but I'm not really sure.

    Yes; before.

    I usually cut a breast in half and weigh it on my kitchen scale for around 4 oz. If it's a little under, I just steal a bit from another when they're cooked. :)

    I'm not sure either, that's why I always choose the "grilled or broiled" selection at 189 calories for 4 oz of cooked/grilled chicken.

    Thanks! I buy frozen chicken, so when it's frozen it weighs more...right? I usually just stick it on the grill (on low) frozen, so then what would I do?
