help w/ nutritional value, Chicken Breast Raw/Grilled

SultanAlush

so basically, i weighted by chicken breast right after taking it out of the fridge and it was 225 gr, and the package says
there is 23g of protien for each 100g.
after cooking/grilling/whatever (i use the toaster), i weighted them again, and the new weight was 120g.
so my question is, did i intake
1) 2.25* 23protien --> ~52
or
2) 1.2 * 23 --> 27.6

please help, and thanks in advance

You had the 2.25*23 value as the nutritional information on the package is for raw. That means that you also took in the calories for 2.25 servings, too. I always find that using the raw weight for meat is the most accurate because sometimes I'll cook up 200 g of chicken and end up with 150 g cooked weight and other times I'll end up with 120 g cooked weight even if I start with the same amount.
