A skinless cooked chicken breast has about 165 kcal and 31 g of protein per 100 g.
Chicken breast is one of the leanest, highest-protein foods you can eat, which is why it's a staple for weight loss and muscle building. Here's how calories change between raw and cooked, and with skin.
| Serving | Calories | Protein | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g raw (skinless) | ~120 kcal | 22 g | 2.6 g |
| 100 g cooked (grilled/roasted, skinless) | ~165 kcal | 31 g | 3.6 g |
| One medium breast (~120 g cooked) | ~200 kcal | 37 g | 4 g |
| 100 g with skin | ~197 kcal | 30 g | 8 g |
Chicken loses water when cooked, so a cooked 100 g portion contains more chicken and more calories per gram than raw. Track portions by cooked weight for accuracy.
You don't need a scale to eat well. An AI tracker like Kcalibra logs calories and macros from a photo of your plate, so you get a good estimate in seconds and stay consistent day to day.
