Chicken weights

**Tox** · 14-08-2009 03:57 PM

Maybe a dumb question...but Looking more into what im eating the last few weeks...Ive just discoveerd that when you cook a chcken fillet the weight drops. So tonight I weighed a 220g fillet raw, boiled it for 30 minutes..took it out and it was only 180g. so when counting calories etc...im using the following details for chicken

per 100g.....calories 148, fat 6.3g and protein 21g (pulled of ineternet somewhere)

so the question is...do i use the uncooked or 'reduced' cooked weight of the chicken?

I guess the same goes for rice....do the values per 100g on the packet mean 100g uncooked?

Also...how many calories do you associate with an egg, protein content and fat wise.

Cheers

I think unless it says cooked weight the nutritional information refers to the uncooked product, could be wrong though.

For eggs i go with

88cals
7.3g protein
0 carbs
6.7 fat

The loss of weight will be the water thats pumped into the fillets >.< so yeah cooked weight makes most sense
