How much protein in chicken?

[Anakin]

I'm thinking that every portion of chicken I eat is like 80 grams of protein, easily, which might be more than I want.

I mean, look at the size of a friggin can of tuna. If that shit has 30 grams of protein, a chicken breast (half of a chicken's torso, to be precise) must have at least twice as much.

I buy a whole cooked chicken breast (that is the whole torso without wings or legs, it has the rib cage). How much protein in it?

Thanks and karma!

Go to your local supermarket, get a FOOD SCALE ($5.99) weigh the food and find out what does it measure in OZ. then it would be a factual number that can be given. Anyone can throw a number out there, but to be correct you need to provide the specific measurement.

Yeah I'll just get a scale, simple enough. Honestly though I think I've been eating like 100g of protein with lunch and dinner (everytime I eat chicken), which is way more than I wanted. It's the only food that I don't measure exactly though.

I agree with Mr X -- get a scale. I weigh all my food in oz & log it into fitday.com the nite before so I know what I'm going to eat during the day.

Some things you eat often enough you just know how much it weighs -- like the can of tuna after draining is 4.5oz.

My scale is electric and you can "tare" the bowl so the food weight won't include the bowl. Pretty neat.

ive found that skinless,boneless white meat only chicken breast has approx 8.25 grams protein per ounce.
