Weigh Chicken Raw?

[xuerebx]

Given the variability in cooking methods it's preferable to use raw weight.

Yeah, plus not to mention that generally you add some sauces to the chicken whilst cooking (who eats plain chicken breast?) and that would mean if you weigh the chicken cooked, you can't cook the sauce with the chicken.

I apologize for asking the same question twice but I took pictures of 360g chicken weighed raw and the internet is saying it's 80g of protein.

but after cooking it, the portion looks way too small to be 80g of protein?!? WTF.

If this really is 80g protein, I don't know why I ever complained about hitting protein macros.


(I forgot to mention it weighs 220g after being cooked.)

Didn't notice this question before. Unless you're buying chicken breast that's injected with water, 100 gram raw chicken breast is ~23 gram protein.
