Scanner vs raw

I'm baking some chicken breast and I scanned the bar code. It came up as chicken breast boneless skinless (cooked) there is no way to change it to raw. Should I use this setting and measure it cooked? Or should I use a generic raw and enter the grams?



Thanks

    If I use the item given by the barcode and enter raw weight it puts me at 450+ on cals. If I use the raw weight with a raw item it puts me at 250-300 cals. It hasn't fully cooked to be measured again.

    Chicken should be chicken - use an accurate raw entry and enter the grams.
