Hmm, just not sure how many cals total I was eating before (before I found out about the weighing raw thing). Thing is, I don't want to be at maintenence or at a surplus either. Plus I bought a new scale and my measurements on my other scale were off. So Idk how many extra cals I could be down by.

Should I really bother to stop weighing it cooked and transition to weighing it raw when I was getting results weighing it cooked? Kind of has me think and wonder how much further of a deficit I'm going into, instantly at that. I'm thinking I'm jumping atleast 240 cals down right away. Is that bad?

I created my own food. This is the Tyson chicken's nutritional label. Serving Size: 4 OZ. SERVING (112g) Servings Per Container: 12 Amount Per Serving Calories from Fat 20 Calories 110 % Daily Value* Total Fat 2.5g 3% Saturated Fat 0.5g Trans Fat 0g Polyunsaturated Fat 0g Monounsaturated Fat 1g Cholesterol 65mg Sodium…

Thing is, I don't want to eat the whole chicken that I make. I like to have small meals, so this is where it gets complicated. I seemed to get results (prob a mental aspect) by eating 4.5oz of cooked chicken in a meal. But I just got no clue how many cals that actually is. For now, I just put down 4.5oz of the raw version…

Ugh, how much cals should I be using here?

I did another experiment. Tray 1: 9.9oz FROZEN, 8.6oz RAW, and then it came out at 6.3oz COOKED Tray 2: 10.0oz FROZEN, 9oz RAW, and then it came out 6.1oz COOKED So, I just go by the raw weight and not the frozen, even though it came as frozen? Wondering cause on the nutritional label, it says there's 40 servings per…

There's that but I didn't find any good ones for chicken breast with rib meat.

I usually eat my chicken at 4.5oz at a time but not sure how many cals that would be. Each piece of chicken goes for about 10-12oz frozen.

Yes, but say if the chicken's nutrition goes by the frozen state. If I put it in at 12 oz, it can come out of the oven as 8oz. So, I'd actually be eating 12oz worth of chicken?

I've been weighing it cooked. Should I keep doing that or switch to what it actually could be? I was getting results doing what I was doing. Now I heard that you should weigh it raw but it completely confuses me because if I cook it frozen then the amount of weight it loses varies.

Do I measure it frozen raw or thawed out and raw?
