Hi, can anyone help me please.
When a recipe says “1 Chicken Beast” how much should this weigh raw?
Thanks

If i was you, I’d use my fitness pal or a calorie counter and just weigh it. That way you’ll get the exact count.

tbh I measure the blueberry, green tea shake. The book states it’s abt 100. It was 178 so had to jiggle everything

Hi – yes I too have found that I get quite different results when I use a calorie counter such as Nutracheck. Almost always the results are higher than quoted in the book, sometimes by quite a lot.

I usually go for a chicken breast around 140g. which is around 150cal

Unless you’ve got a big hand, it’s about the size of your closed fist as a visual guide.
