Question regarding chicken

[paddy155]

I start my bulking cycle on Monday and I am consuming chicken as part of my meal plan. What I want to know is after I have cooked my chicken breast for example,thye weight will have changed,so how do I know how much protein it has in it. Is their a ratio ? Also,how do you prepare your chicken to take to work if you plan on eating it cold ?

200g raw breast chicken gives you 40g protein.
work from there.

You could also buy and inexpensive food scale.


This one is only $8.00

so,if 200g raw chicken gives you 40g of protein,how much protein is in it once it has been cooked ?

40gms. we are not expected to eat raw chicken so i assume the macros are correct taking cooking into consideration.

You would have 40g, the only thing that would change would be the mass (200g). When cooked, moisture would be driven off reducing mass number. How much I don't know. Weigh chicken before and after cooking to determine.

it would still be 40g protein?
why would it change after been cooked?

anyway to your answer its 40g, stop looking at the cooked and non cooked
