What changes the calories
- Cooked chicken weighs less than raw because it loses water, so the same piece has more calories per gram after cooking than before.
- Eating the skin adds noticeably more fat and calories than the meat alone.
- Dark meat like thighs and drumsticks tends to be higher in fat and calories than white breast meat.
- Frying, breading or basting with butter or oil adds the calories of the fat and coating it picks up.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your chicken after cooking and log it as a cooked entry, or weigh it raw and log a raw entry, but don't mix the two.
- Log sauces, marinades, oils and breading separately, since they can add more calories than you'd expect.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate to get a starting estimate, then adjust the portion to match your weighed amount.
