Chicken question

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2003/10/08, 03:34 PM I have been measuring chicken after it has been cooked but have been using the nutritional info that is on the package which I assume are the amts raw. Is there a difference in f/c/p in 4oz of raw chicken and 4oz of cooked chicken? If so, does anyone know the f/c/p breakdown of cooked chicken? I only cook it grilled, baked or broiled. Same question for ground beef. I use extra lean beef with 4.5g of fat, 0 carbs, and 25 g protein per 4 oz ( all info is from package ) Thanks -------------- The difference between a pat on the back and a kick in the butt is only about two feet

I would have to tag them or use a magic marker...lol. Plus I usually cut them all up and divide into 5-6oz pkgs. How can you do that without having to cook each portion separately? When cooking for the week, it is just easier to measure everything when it is already cooked. As for the difference in nutrition facts, I hope it isn't that much of a difference. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

The nutritional info is very specific and it should tell you what you need to know. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

But Each can tells me exactly whats in it. 5 servings with a total of 75grams of Protine and only 300calories. It's great! I put rellish in it or fat free manonaise and eat it for lunch. Cooking chick still tastes better, but for a quick meal I know exactly what I am getting, nutrition-wise.
