As a rule of thumb, most meats average 6g protein per oz. You should be able to do the rest from there.

Exactly. It's close enough and saves you having to go nuts figuring out every little difference. Keep in mind this is RAW weight. Cooked meat will weigh less.

Does the cooked meat have the same macros as the raw meat with the same weight? or is there more calories in less of the meat when cooked
