Chicken breast is popular because it is lean, high-protein, and easy to season. The search for “100g chicken breast calories and protein” usually means: how do I log this without guessing?
Typical numbers (skinless)
| State (approx.) | Calories / 100 g | Protein / 100 g |
|---|---|---|
| Raw, skinless breast | ~110–120 kcal | ~22–23 g |
| Cooked, grilled/boiled lean | ~150–165 kcal | ~28–31 g |
Databases vary slightly by breed and water content. Treat these as working averages. If your packet lists nutrition facts, prefer that label.
How to use it in a day
- 150 g cooked breast ≈ a large lunch protein portion for many lifters
- Pair with rice or roti and vegetables for a complete meal
- Batch-cook and refrigerate for 2–3 days max with safe storage
Tracking tip that saves arguments
Weigh raw if your recipe starts raw; weigh cooked if you meal-prep cooked pieces. Switching mid-week confuses the log and your brain.
Key takeaways
- Chicken breast is a lean, dense protein source.
- Expect roughly 22–31 g protein per 100 g depending on state.
- Oil and skin change calories more than protein.
- Be consistent with raw vs cooked logging.
Compare with 100 g paneer and 2 eggs. This is educational information, not medical advice. Consult a qualified professional for personal health decisions.
