Nutrition Facts per 100g (Breast, Skinless, Grilled)
Chicken calories: match the cut, skin, and cooked portion
The 165-calorie reference on this page is for 100 grams of roasted chicken breast meat only. It is not a universal value for raw chicken, thighs, wings, drumsticks, skin-on pieces, or breaded chicken.
How to log a U.S. serving
For a home-cooked U.S. meal, weigh the edible cooked meat and exclude bones. Record skin, marinade, breading, frying oil, barbecue sauce, and gravy when they are part of the portion.
When to use another entry
Rotisserie and restaurant chicken can contain added seasoning or solution, and the cut may not be clear from appearance alone. Use a brand nutrition page or package label when available; otherwise describe the cut and preparation in the entry instead of claiming exact precision.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 165-calorie chicken value describe?
It describes 100 grams of roasted chicken breast meat only in the cited USDA entry.
Should bones be included in the serving weight?
No. Weigh or estimate the edible cooked meat rather than the bone.
Can I use this value for fried or rotisserie chicken?
