Logging macros for chicken

‎05-10-2018 03:29

Hello

 

I was wondering if you could help me work out the calories and macro breakdown of this pack of chicken I have bought. It is Iceland Frozen Chicken Breast Fillets, 85% chicken breast fillet with water and salt. The macro breakdown per 100g ovenbaked is:

 

112 calories

23.5g protein

0g carbs

2.0g fats

 

What I’m confused at is the 85% chicken breast fillet, would I work it out as 85% of 23.5g protein, so log it as 20g protein?

 

Many thanks for your help!

How much of it are you eating? The macros given are for 100g so if you're eating 100g, log the amounts shown - 200g, then log 2 x the amounts shown.

As it goes it actually came out as 100g when it was cooked. But I was confused because of the 15% water content, and if it effected the actual protein/calorie content. Hope that makes sense lol!
