Last dumb chicken question...

r0dxx · 01-09-2006, 01:31 PM

The chicken I made last night says this on the package:

4 oz
110 cal
1g fat
26g protein

It doesn't say cooked/raw...How much is this equal to cooked?

Your answer (question about chiken)

So using that theory it's safe to say...

4 oz
110 cal
26 protein
1g fat

EQUALS

3oz COOKED
110 cal
26g protein
1g fat

Damn 8.6g of protein per ounce!! I never knew chicken was soo protein dense. 4 oz of chicken is basically enough for a meal!!

Ya for a protein source, but don't forget to throw in vegatables and complex carbs like brown rice and sweet potatoes to have a complete meal.

Yes my dinner tonight 5 oz grilled chicken, 1 cup brown rice, 1/4 cup almonds, and some brocolli. I know the almonds are weird to have with it, but I kinda have them right after I eat the chicken/rice.
