So many different calories for chicken breast..

[Kagina]

hey guys
i've check myfitnesspal and other sites about calories in skinless boneless unseasoned chicken breast and some say 220 calories for 200g and some say 350 calories for 200g...

what do you guys go by for regular chicken breast?

[PBateman2]

I estimate about 280-300cals.

I estimate about 280-300cals.

thats really high! i barley season my chicken breasts.. i only put some pepper and dry seasoning (no calories in them)
so how come it comes up from 110 calories for 100g raw to about 160 calories for 100g cooked?

Wait isn't 200g equivalent to like 8 oz? So 240 cals? Not sure.

Shows you how much I know about tracking cals...LOL.

Read the stickies!



I think 200g is like 7 oz. I'd say 230-240 ish. OP, pick a # andthe stick with it

My 4oz chicken breasts are 120 ea. Get the frozen ones in packs if you want to be sure how many calories you're getting.

LOL. Nice.

Raw vs cooked changes water weight. So 6oz may cook down to 4oz, but the calories are the same.

28g an in ounce bros.

4oz = 112g
8oz = 224g

FWIW, the macros for the Kirkland chicken breasts I get (below) are as follows, per the packaging:

100g, 98cal, 1f, 0c, 22p

[PBateman2]

^^Will rep on RC. Thanks for that.

[FunkymonkAW]

Any time. Getting accurate macros for meat is a major PITA, so I generally just check the packaging of the closest prepackaged item I can find.

[awkwrdturtle]

I usually estimate it at 500 cals. per pound of raw chicken. Not exact but it's a round number, it's close to accurate, and I'm consistent with it so it works for me.

[Kagina]

Wow thanks a lot to everyone! you really helped me out

[determined4000]

if Ive fully trimmed them
100g= 110cal, 25g protein, 1.1g fat

[franko man]

^Seems like most posters use ounces instead of grams...lol
Despite being in Canada, I've always been a g > oz person.

OP, typically, 100g of unseasoned chicken breasts contain 100-120 calories.
~0.5g fat
0g CHO
25-27g of PRO

Different manufacturing companies have displayed different labels. But essentially they aren't drastically different.

Yummy!

so how come it comes up from 110 calories for 100g raw to about 160 calories for 100g cooked?

The reason is that when the meat is raw it will weigh less when cooked as it also contains water. So 100g raw will only be about 70g when cooked.

Calories in 100g cooked is approx 160 so in 70g cooked (the original 100g raw) it will be about 110 calories.

I hope that helps.
