These small 4 oz chicken chicken breasts are perfect for meal prepping. They are easy and come out super juicy and flavorful in the Air Fryer. I’ve included 4 oz chicken breast nutrition so you can track your macros. Is there a difference between 4 ounces cooked chicken breast and 4 ounces raw chicken breast?When I first started tracking my macros I would just type in “chicken breast” and log that into my tracker. This was years ago when I was still working my first job as a dietitian at a hospital. Never did I stop and think, should I type in “raw chicken breasts” or “cooked chicken breasts” because there is a HUGE difference. Especially if you’re tracking your calories and protein intake for weight loss. Or on the opposite side if you’re trying to gain weight. When we cook our food, in this case chicken breasts, we lose water and juices during the cooking process. This makes the calories and protein more concentrated per ounce. So if you’re logging 4oz of RAW chicken breast into your app, when you’re actually eating 4oz of COOKED chicken breasts, you’re unknowing eating more calories and protein then what you think. And if you’re eating a lot of chicken breasts for the week, say you meal prepped 3 pounds of chicken, you’re going to be eating way more calories than you think and this will hinder weight loss. Chicken Breast CaloriesSo as mentioned above chicken breast calories vary if you’re tracking raw chicken breast calories or cooked chicken breast calories. Are you tracking grilled chicken breast? Baked Chicken Breast? Boiled chicken breast? Shredded Chicken Breast? Ground Chicken Breast? Did you put and seasonings on that contain calories? Seasonings that contain fillers or starches, or sweet rubs that contain sugar or brown sugar have calories and will increase the calories in your chicken breast. Seasonings will actually change the chicken breast nutrition. Especially ones that have high mineral contents like Redmonds Real Salt. Adding a high quality salt is an easy way to beef up the nutritional content of chicken breast.
