Skinless chicken thigh — fattier than breast, more flavorful, similar protein density.
Higher fat than breast (11g vs 3.6g) but more forgiving on a grill. Bulks and maintenance-friendly; less ideal for tight cuts.
Best for
- higher-fat protein meals — 26g protein with 11g fat / 100g
- people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets
Watch out
- double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
- assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here
How to log it
Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 1 thigh boneless (~95g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Works when the rest of the day is lighter on oils and nuts. Watch the weekly fat budget, not just the meal selfie.
Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
The numbers above are for plain chicken thigh. Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Grilled / baked (skinless) | ~209 | Matches the page numbers |
| Pan-fried with oil | ~230–270 | Extra oil on an already fattier cut |
| Skin-on roasted | ~230–260 | Skin is mostly fat |
| Breaded & fried | ~280–330 | Breading + oil |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
