How it fits your diet

Skinless chicken breast is the backbone of most high-protein diets: almost 19 g of protein for every 100 kcal and very little fat. The numbers here are for raw meat. Chicken loses water as it cooks, so 100 g of cooked breast is about 165 kcal: the calories and protein stay the same, the weight drops. Weigh it raw and your tracking stays accurate.
