I did search but couldn't find it. About how much protein is in 8 oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast, grilled of course? I looked on fit day, but it must have listed 50 ways to cook it, even "average cooking method", but not boneless, skinless, grilled.
Thanks,
Dave

if you cook 8oz it gets down to about 5.5 oz which is 42 grams

Damn, I was always under the assumption that 8 oz of cooked chicken was around 42 grams.

same shit
if i cook 8oz of chicken and i weight it
the weight becomes 5.5
It becomes 5.5 grams because of the water lost during cooking. 8 ounces of raw chicken breast has 42g, 5.5oz of raw chicken would have less protein.

I use fitday.com and type my chicken in as, "chicken,breast". I then select "oz, boneless, cooked'' as the method. 7oz is 58.6g protein. Its either that, or close to it, which is fine for me. I don't care too much about the exact amount. If anything, its in the ballpark.

I meant I cook chicken ahead of time and put it in the fridge, then take it out and weigh it before heating it up. I never weigh it raw.

naah, he meant that you cook 8oz raw, not 5.5oz. it just becomes 5.5 after you are done cooking it.
