Thread: Fit day diet tracker

fitday diet tracker...

It seems to me some of the protein estimates are a little high, it seems to state that a small chicken breast has 50g of protein? I always thought it was more like 30 grams of protein? Could anyone clarify this for me?

Also intrigued by how much a "cup" is? Say a cup of rice, would that be an average serving for one meal roughly?

Thanks

Here's a tip: use a measuring cup.

Seriously, weigh your food. Then you KNOW.

I programmed in a few foods that I eat regularly. For example, raw chicken breast: (from the USDA nutrient database)

10 ounces of raw boneless, skinless chicken breast meat - two medium-small chicken breast portions:

Per 10 oz raw breast meat
Calories 310
Total Fat 3.5g
Protein 64.7g

Note that 10 ounces raw weighs out as 7.5 ounces cooked, at least when I do it. So this is the same information for 10 ounces of raw holds for 7.5 ounces of cooked:

Per 7.5 oz poached breast meat
Calories 310
Total Fat 3.5g
Protein 64.7g
