8oz of chicken is about 55g of protien.. why you making it difficult??

^ditto

go by precooked weight andn it doesn't matter how you cook the chicken

the more u cook, the drier it gets and the lesser it weighs...and inconsistent to use as base to judge... unless u eat out, then you need to estimate

im not trying to make it differcult im new to looking at all the weights of food and stuff,
so 8 oz of uncooked chicken is ok which is 1 breast for me ?

[mike500]

weigh it before it is cooked.
done solved and there is nothing more to calculate .
