    It's 120 for 4 oz. of Organic boneless skinless chicken which is free range antibiotic free chicken. Depending on what kind you purchase you should check the packaging and make notes accordingly.

    When in doubt, I always double check the US Department of Agriculture database. I figure the USDA is most reliable.

    Chicken and other meats shouldn't be calculated cooked. The weight can fluctuate so much depending on cooking time and method. So to track It accurately it should be weighed RAW.

    4 oz of raw boneless skinless chicken breast is usually 120 calories. Check the food label to be sure. Ive bought chicken that's 110 calories per 4oz on the label.

    the organic"ness" of chicken has little effect on the calories (by little, i mean none)
