im dead

[@stevensonrojas1747]

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "diet female bodybuilding" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Davidbiy Bodybuilder Tipster - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my brother in law got excellent success with it.

[@darknotez7170]

Can you make a video on how you would go about entering it in my fitness pal ?

[@nickymarley3096]

So in my diet its says 150g chicken , does it sound right if i weigh that cooked ? Or does it sound like i need to weigh 150g raw ? Im confused because i feel like im holding fat and I’m trying to work out where in going wrong ! Not sure if 150g cooked is too much ?!?

[@MrArrex]

supposed to weigh raw

[@lilpaercyjnr17]

This was great, I've been looking for "beef shank bone in calories" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Giyatthew Vanharlotte Release - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is an awesome one off guide for building body strength without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my best friend Jordan after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.

[@motorcycleislife8296]

How many grams of chicken do you eat tho cause mine says about 240g per meal

[@MrGflan]

Thanks bro, just what I was looking for. Deep into my cut now and my body is fighting me to get below 10 percent. A real pain in the ass. I think I want to swap chicken out for steak 90 percent of the time. You get all the protein with less calories if it’s a top sirloin and very lean. I definitely need a better scale. Mine almost crashes anything over 4 ounces lol

[@romesalas9729]

How about for the rice, pasta, potatoes? Same?

[@shaund8744]

Thanks for making this simple. Great info. So am I right in saying log it as cooked chicken but multiply the difference to the actual weight.

[@johnsmith-cw8qm]

So when your adding food in my fit pal what value are you multiplying 1.24 by to create that entry like what would service size be etc to get most accurate

[@christopher5863]

Thank you man! Easy and straight forward without a 10 minute video. Cheers man!

[@merontameha9981]

this was really helpful tnx!

[@NasonVSRG]

Lol, I was weighing cooked chicken as if it were raw and was wondering why I always came up short a whole days worth of chicken LOL

[@CarlG2003]

Nathan Miller I was doing the same 😂

[@maryzakiandourrugrats4671]

So essentially meat looses about 25% of its weight after cooking

[@paulkamau1806]

Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Chireetler Fitness Brethren Rule (do a search on google)? It is a great one of a kind product for learning some amazing body building workouts minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my close friend Aubrey at last got amazing success with it.

[@dangelmrn3782]

This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "16 oz of chicken calories" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Giyatthew Vanharlotte Release - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is an awesome exclusive product for building body strength without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

[@andyapr1yt379]

I was skeptic about *Next Level Diet* because I thought that I would have to eat only broccoli to lose weight. I am eating only food I like and still losing weight.

[@manuelfernando9729]

Isnt it better if we divide the raw chicken weight which was already weighted by 1.24 then we know how much chicken we have actually

[@anonymousraz0294]

Does the 1.24 cooked value apply for carbs like rice too? Thanks

[@angelo1604]

The rice would weigh more after it’s cooked so it would be the opposite way I’m pretty sure

[@Krishhna-y6y]

what kind of chiken breast you use ? i mean boiler chiken breast or desi natural chiken breast

[@ASAFABADI]

But what about the oil you put in the pan to fry the chicken? It adds alot more calories and screws the ration cause its not really 30.6 of chicken, its somewhat less but the oil adds another weight and lots of calories

[@CarterHuddleston]

Unless you’re dumping a bunch of butter in the pan, a little non-stick spray won’t add nearly any calories or weight.

[@ASAFABADI]

@@CarterHuddleston i calculated this when i coocked it last week, i put 20 grams of oil in the pan and put 100 grams of chicken breast, after i coocked it there was only 10 grams of oil in the pan wich means the chicken absorbed 10 grams of oil wich is 85 calories

[@damnnitsdantee737]

אסף יוסף עבאדי don’t use oil? Lol

[@atillathehun6434]

How do we measure Chicken Drumsticks? Like are the values n myfitness pal include the bone weight too?

[@Bwa]

Bro just buy chicken breast

[@fittgaming4271]

Cooked Weight it cooked

[@drboyton1]

Nope. Weigh it raw. It's more accurate. You don't know how "well done" your cooked piece of meat is. ie: How much water weight have you cooked out of it? Weigh your entire batch of chicken that you're about to cook, then once cooked, use your scale to evenly distribute your chicken between however many meals you're making. Then take the raw weight, and divide by the number of meals. That's how much chicken you have per meal.

[@jimpodolski7871]

Great and simple method thanks for that. Does it apply to all foods?

[@CarterHuddleston]

I'm sure it could be applied to any foods that weigh differently cooked vs uncooked. Be sure to keep anything you can consistent between trials though.

[@tiffanyjade6024]

I think you should calculate raw. Because that's what you are eating. The meat shrinks but that is still the amount of meat it took to make the amount it did. It's the same with adding oil. Alot of the oil burns off. But you still add the amount you used to begin with to your macro calculations for the day. Also, I think what's important to know is how the orgs who created the macros factored in cooked cooked macros vs. uncooked.

[@CarterHuddleston]

Not sure if you are disagreeing with my method or not but if so, I'm not sure you understand the point of the ratio, as mentioned in the video. You weigh the entirety the meat raw, then weigh again cooked. You obtain the ratio and that's what you use as a multiplier when weighing your cooked meat before eating it to ensure the macros are accurate.

[@7fsjay]

thats what hes doing...

[@davidmooney1598]

Maybe a stupid question but can you not just scan the barcode on my fitness pal then enter it from the cooked weight?

[@Asimo44]

He's saying the calories on the label are for the raw weight. When you cook it the weight changes so using the cooked weight is inaccurate.

[@TheSteezeGfx]

fucking genius !

[@K20civicsirturbo]

Why multiple by 1.24?

[@CarterHuddleston]

It's the weight ratio between the raw and cooked chicken. The macros on the package are for weights of the chicken when it's raw. The weight will decrease when you cook it and may vary depending on how long, seasonings, etc. But when we weigh chicken before we eat it, its obviously cooked. So we multiply by the factor so the macros we are tracking are for the raw meat. Did that answer your question?

[@howtobreakdancecool]

Carter Huddleston what if i type “grilled chicken” on myfitness pal, do i weigh it cooked?

[@JohnTompazidis]

​@@CarterHuddleston Since the macros on the package are for raw chicken then why not weigh it raw?!?!?!?!? BEFORE you even cook it?

[@Sailorboy2016]

Thanks for the help with that !! Would I do the same for past and rice ?

[@CarterHuddleston]

Weighing rice dry is the right way. I don't cook rice in bulk because it gets stale, but if you do I imagine the ratio rule would apply. I would be sure to use the same amount of water each time though. If the rice absorbs more water while cooking, I'm sure it will affect the weight.

[@samanthaoldham626]

Yes i wud do the same for myself x

[@dominicmurphy3269]

Just cooked 200g of chicken there and it came out weighing 123 grams? Do I use the macros of the 200g or 123g?

[@mirciuvt3951]

@@mightyredfilly6717 it loses water

[@jaydenjones2608]

STILL USE 200 BCZ THATS WHAT IT WAS WHEN U STARTED WITH IT. IT ONLY LOST WATER NOT CALORIES OR PROTEIN. WATER HAS NO CALORIES. JUST DIVIDE 200 GRAMS BY HOWEVER MANY SERVINGS U WANT. 200 GRAMS IS BARELY 8OZ.

[@jaydenjones2608]

123 GRAMS IS JUST OVER 4OZ BUT U WOULDN'T SAY THAT ALL U HAD TO START OFF WITH IS JUST OVER 4OZ OF CHICKEN. U WOULD B SELLING YOURSELF SHORT. IF U PUT IN MYFITNESSPAL THAT ALL U HAD WAS 4OZ OF CHICKEN THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER ALMOST 4OZ THAT U STARTED OFF WITH. U GON BE LOGGING ONLY 4OZ INSTEAD OF ALMOST 8OZ. I ALWAYS WEIGH RAW AND DIVIDE IT BY HOW MANY SERVINGS I PLAN ON EATING

[@eddysaidtht]

This video didn’t make any sense at all. All I got was 1.24.. what?

[@nithinnani1885]

Hello

[@BloodandSoil990]

How many calories is in a 6 ounce grilled chicken breast?

[@justinorosas9927]

About 190 calories

[@Wolf-es1el]

And how much protein

[@h.mutawa866]

You are over complicating stuff dude

[@nancyalisadi6262]

Why can I just weight it cooked ,🤔

[@Dance1617]

Because the nutrition facts are for the raw meat. So 8oz of raw chicken is 200 calories when you cook it , it's only 6 ounces but still 200 calories. Then you measure out 8 ounces cooked chicken so you're eating 300 calories of chicken thinking it's 200.

[@The_Professor26]

Didn't help

[@XxRaDerPoint]

That’s not how you cook chicken too thick = RAW

[@siershoots3565]

So you didn't clean your chicken? Oh boy

[@kyoufukoso3537]

why the fuck would you clean your chicken? that doesn't get rid of the bacteria, only cooking does.
