    Chicken and lean beef food counts question

    I would appreciate any help that can be given.

    Question 1) How many ounces of chicken breast would equal 50 grams of protein?

    and
    2) how many grams of protein would there be in extra lean(93%) ground beef that weights 8 ounces

    Any of you guys with a food calc let me know, and I will light a candle in your honor

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

    So 8 ounces of either ballparks me at 50 grams of protein then. Sounds great

    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
