How to work out calories of chicken breast
Hi everyone. How do I work out the calories of chicken breast? I have a 300g pack and the nutrition label says '100g as sold, 106cal.' I intend to cook it in a pan on the hob in a little bit of oil. Is it still 106cal per 100g once it's cooked (plus the cals from the oil?) Thanks!
