Boneless, skinless chicken breast — the macro-king of proteins. Lean, high-protein, low-fat, low-carb.
The default protein source for cuts and bulks alike. 31g protein per 100g cooked, with minimal calorie cost. Pairs with anything; weight loss-friendly.
Best for
- cutting or high-protein days — 31g protein / 100g at 165 kcal
- meals where you want volume of protein without a fat bomb
Watch out
- restaurant versions that are breaded, sauced, or cooked in oil — the log is for the plain item
- weighing cooked vs raw without matching the database state
How to log it
Prefer weighing chicken breast after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 1 medium breast (~174g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Fits as the protein anchor. Pair with a carb and produce so the plate is not only lean protein and boredom.
