on the nutrition facts label, it says 4oz = 112g = 24g protein
there are two breasts per pouch, and each breast weighs about 8oz.
but i've read that 2 oz of chicken breast is equal to a deck of cards. and each breast that i have, is about the size of two deck of cards. which equals 4 oz each, and not 8.
something is not adding up.

should i weigh chicken breast RAW or COOKED?
GAME 6 + 7 = BOTH IN MIAMI.
Heat win Game 6 (they haven't lost a back to back in 6 months)
SO FAR: each team has won 3, lost 3...
SO NOW IT COMES DOWN TO GAME 7 (IN MIAMI). LOL if you think SAS would win a GAME 7 in MIAMI.

You can do it both ways, on the internet you may find nutritional facts of chicken either cooked or raw. But keep in mind that cooked values are much more inaccurate, due to the variable % of water weight loss, depending on how you cooked.

Can one weekend of bad eating really ruin a week of dieting? Well, can one quick trip to Vegas ruin 2 months of saving? Same thing basically.

wait. i get mine from there too. 8oz pieces each, right? but the nutrition facts gives information for only 4oz of chicken breast. so i double the protein from 24g to 48 g. its approximate of course, so far in my experience each breast is slightly less than 8 oz when i weigh them. which i don't mind too much, since i'm on a cut.

The way I look at it, is use what is on the bag, serving wise, and do the math with how many are in the bag.. Even if the nutrition facts are off by a bit, you should be able to kinda figure out what you need to do calorie wise after a couple weeks of weigh ins.. As of right now, I'm about 2 weeks in of strictly counting calories/macros and if I'm losing too much, I'll just add a bit more food I was being really anal about nutrition facts, but in the long run you just need to learn what your body needs.
Learning something new here every single day... and I'm still not sure if I understand : /
