Cutting Diet by Blaz

[Blaz Kavlic]

I found the information sources on the calorie content of foods such as avocado and chicken breast to be inconsistent while researching which makes it a bit trickier to get the macros spot on. I'm sure though by continuing what i've been doing for another 1-2 months I should reach my goal. I just bought some new slacks the other day and they're a size 34. I've never been able to fit into 34s before.

When you look up food like chicken the macros are different when they are cooked to when it is uncooked. This may be why you get different results.

What would the calorie difference be between 8oz cooked chicken and 8oz uncooked?

Cheers boxa. The cooking method used also has bearing on the calorie content right? I normally grill, but when the gas cylinder shits itself I oven bake.

It may to a small degree but not as significant as between cooked and uncooked. I wouldn't worry too much about the method in which you cook something.

Incase you wonna look it up one of the main sites I use is www.calorieking.com.au (aussie site) which has the different ways something is prepared plus macros. You can even enter in specific weight and it will calculate macros for you.
