Weight of Food and Nutrients

[deathdroprob]

The other day I bought some chicken and on the packet label it said: Protein per serve (250g): 57g.
When I cooked it (wrapped in foil and cooked in the oven for half hour) And the same piece of chicken I weighed and was a bit more than 250gwas now less than 200. About 190g.

I suspect most of this was simply liquid evaperation but will my tender piece of chicken breast still have the same amount of Protein?

Yes, all meat loses water weight when you cook it.

E.g., chicken breast is 25% protein, 2 % fat, 0% water. The rest must be mainly water (just like human muscle tissue in fact)
