Chicken breast

[poysyn]

Just curious to see what typical macros you use for say 4oz of cooked chicken breast (fresh kind without nutrition labels) assuming the visible fat not eaten..

Yes, I use both..I was just curious what the members on these boards use as those macros vary SIGNIFICANTLY. More importantly, how much of the saturated fat content can be avoided by avoiding what is visible on the outer edges?

For example, the chicken breast I bought in bulk is a local grocery store name brand. It came in a bag with about 60, 140g frozen breasts. Each breast contains 150 cals, 5g fat of which 2.5 are sat and 27g of protein. I find that fat content to be extremely high for a chicken breast and consider the breats relatively lean. On the contrary, fitday gives about 130cals for a similar portion of regular chicken breast which visibly has much more fat when cooked.

I just don't want to assume im intaking an extra 10gs of fat when I'm really not..

If I don't buy fresh organic from whole foods I will use Perdue Fresh Fit 'N Easy Skinless & Boneless Chicken Breast

Per 100 gram of fresh skinless boneless chicken breast from a local grocer I get:

-60 mg sodium

Nothing else really matters to me.
