Reply With QuoteAny chicken on the bone is going to be fattier than chicken breast. Chicken breast is BY FAR the leanest and I mean by as much as 1/2 the fat than chicken on the bone.
3 oz. Cooked Chicken Breast:
Cals: 137
Fat: 3G
Protein: 26

Nutr. values for chicken?
I'm checking out a site for cal. & prot. of 1 skinless boneless chicken breast (baked); it's telling me over 300 cal. and 50 g/prot! This can't be right! 1 can of tuna gives me 140 cals, and 30 g/prot.
I'm eating from a bag of skinless bonless chicken breast right now, which seem pretty small in size, I'd say just smaller than an average portion. I also pick up chicken legs with bones (cheaper than breast) or whole chickens (these I bake, then fry the meat in soy sauce for better taste). Whatever's cheaper/on sale at the time
Any help on determining how much I'm eating in respect to cal. an protein intake?
Thanks!

Yes mine too skib, I eat chicken breast like theres no tommorow. Literally for breakfast lunch and dinner and all the time intbetween. There isn't one day where I don't have chicken for ATLEAST 2 meals out of the day. Have it grilled, baked, canned you name. I may have to make a poem of some sort about chicken.

How much does cooking affect the calories?
I bought a truck load worth of chicken on sale last week and it actually came with a macro sheet:
-->
chicken breasts enhanced with seasoned chicken broth
serving size: 4oz
Calories: 110
Fat: 1g
Protein: 22g
Carbs: 0g
Cholesteral: 55mg
Sodium: 440mg
Sugars: 0g
-->
how the heck do I find out how much I am altering it when I cook it? Or should I just stop being so picky and use the macros off fitday?
"To be a cyclist is to be a student of pain....at cycling's core lies pain, hard and bitter as the pit inside a juicy peach. It doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic medal, a town sign, a trailhead, or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport. Without pain, there's no adversity. Without adversity, no challenge. Without challenge, no improvement. No improvement, no sense of accomplishment and no deep-down joy. Might as well be playing Tiddly-Winks."

Actually you should always use the macros from the package.
Cooking doesn't alter the macros but remember 3 oz. cooked chicken is different than 3 oz. raw chicken.

I agree, Jodi. It's always best to read the package.
I have attempted to use several nutritional data sources, but they are all different.....often drastically different.
