calories in 4 oz. (weighed raw) boneless, skinless chicken breast

kate4646 · 06-08-2004, 04:19 PM

In the BFFM eating charts in the back of the book, it's listed as 198 cals, but on the purdue package and on Fitday its around 100-120 calories. Or, is the BFFM guy giving calorie counts with the skin on? Sorry to take up your time with the random question but it's been bothering me and I'd love a final word. Thanks (again) guys! --Kate

where'd you get those numbers?

i always thought 4 oz. cooked was a little less in the calorie department.

They are orignally from Fitday.

Just adding the numbers makes sense.

35G Protein * 4 = 140
4G Fat * 9 = 36

Total of 176 cals. So they are off by 7 cals.

I have heard a serving size of cooked meat is approximately the size of a deck of cards. Is this way accurate enough to determine what 4oz of meat should look like?

I know on average... 2/3 cups of ground beef is about 4 oz.

not sure about chicken though..
