Questions
Why does cooked chicken have more calories per 100 g than raw?
Cooking removes water. 100 g of cooked chicken has less water, so it has more protein and calories than 100 g of raw. Use raw values for raw weight and cooked values for cooked weight.
How much protein is in a chicken breast?
One grilled piece in the USDA data weighs 196 g and has about 60 g of protein.
What does % of the reference intake mean?
It compares the portion with the EU label reference intakes for an average adult: 50 g of protein and 2,000 kcal a day. It is not a personal target; the protein calculator estimates yours.
