Well shit
Eating 1 lb / day could vary from
112G protein to 144 G protein
(7g-9g/oz)
I could care less but if one were cutting /. Getting into contest shape..
.That could be a big difference ...?
Correct. The easiest way to do it is:
4 oz raw = 2.5 oz cooked (broiled, baked, etc - anything where there is no extra water retention like boiling)
That would mean that 1 oz = approximately 9 grams of protein IF you are broiling/baking or even lightly pan frying the chicken.
IF you are cooking it by boiling, stewing, or any other method submerging the chicken in a liquid, your chicken weight increases per gram of protein. Boiled chicken may have 7g protein per oz.
