On the chicken breast I eat, it says 120 calories for 4 ounces of raw chicken. That would be 480 calories for a pound. Does your chicken breast come with a nutrition label or from the meat counter? Try searching for the specific brand you bought. If from the meat counter,110-120 calories is what I generally see on most packages of chicken breasts for 4 oz. Try searching for: "raw boneless skinless chicken breasts" and finding one in that calorie range.2

When in doubt, look up the usda value and then choose the entry in the database that matches.3

You know at some point your going to have to cook that chicken. Squeeze a half lemon on your chicken before you cook it. Then it's still the same calories with flavor.0
