>Look up calories in 1 lbs of raw boneless skinless chicken

>>39614040
Assume the higher number
That's what I do

>>39614088
Where the fuck do these numbers even come from?

>>39614040
go with 400 kcal

that's what I did during my cut and it worked

just eat and excercise more

I always got 440kcals per pound of chicken

>>39614040
why measure raw anyway? measure in cooked, then use the chicken council's numbers

>>39614088
>>39614238

I'm getting mixed messages here.
>>39614255
What?
>>39614292
Because I don't know how they are cooking it. If I know the raw calories, I can know exactly how many are in the finished dish because I am preparing it.

>>39614040
Do the average between a few reliable sources.

>>39614040
The most important is that you use the same number every time, if it's something you eat often you'll adjust your calorie intake if things are not going the way you want, regardless if it's because the calories are wrong

For chicken breast without skin or bones or other stuff it will be almost only protein as the nutrients. Does the sources show which amounts of protein, carbs and fats they consider chicken breast to have? If not they are probably not worth much. Those with higher numbers probably assume some amount of fat.

About 450 seems right. It's definitely not 700 for bone/skinless.

>>39614292
Let's assume that you're an idiot and i'm smart.
Idiot cooks 200g chicken breast till it's bone dry. It weighs 170 gram now and you measure that.
Smart guy cooks his chicken breast so that it's moist and has good texture and it weighs 180 grams.

The amount of calories are the same, the water weight is the difference. You would measure these differently using your technique.

Fair point I suppose.

Thanks anon, the general consensus seems to be that google and MFP are full of shit. I'll go with 500-ish to be safe.
