bout 22-25 grams per 4 oz depending on where you look.

most other lean meat in gonna be about the same number as well.

Cooked or uncooked? Makes a difference.

What kind of difference does it make? how does it affect the levels is my question

Well say you take an 8oz chicken breast out of the fridge and throw it on the grill. When its cooked that chicken breast will weigh mabe 6oz. I have noticed a difference in the weight you lose through cooking based on brand of chicken and cut. So it always makes a difference.

So a if you compare a 6oz raw chicken breast vs. a 6oz cooked breast you are really comparing a 6oz raw to an 8oz raw. See the difference now?

Ok, yeah i see that, does it change the levels of protien though, by cooking it alternating its state so to say, like is 4 oz going to have just as much protein raw as cooked if the weight is the same or does it differ some how (thanks i am just trying to learn as much as possible)

this is a good question, if the package says a 6oz peice has 30 grams, does that mean uncooked?

Unless otherwise stated it usually means uncooked

Use this dude, select how you cooked it, it'll give you exactly what you need.
