I've always used

uncooked chicken - 100g = ~100cals 20g protein
cooked chcken - 100g = ~150 cals 30g protein

Doesn't matter whether you weigh before or after so long as you are consistent and use the right ones.
 
I always thought 100g of chicken was (for example purposes) 100kcals and 20g of protein. If you cook it, it will lose water and become 80g but still 100kcals and 20g of protein? I can't see why the meat would lose calories and protein through loss of water?

And Syla5, I meant not to microwave it as in it damages the building blocks of the protein, not how safe it is. Altho I haven't got anything to reference that with atm!

You would be thinking correctly, but if you're cooking it then measuring 100g and expecting it to be 100kcals and 20g of protein then it's going to be wrong which I think is what people are getting at.

So for macro purposes are you eating 300g of chicken or 200g?

The macros are based on precooked weights so for macro purposes my 200g of chicken is the same as 300g of chicken. Using the same train of thought i would be eating 3000kcals of rice per day as my 50g pre cooked portion weighs in at 500g!!

first paragraph is exactly my thinking, and i have not come across anything that highlights the opposite.

second paragraph...ah good point ;) well, all the better for me not being able to nuke the food then :D



Must mention kai as it is his thread!! sorry for the hijack. YOUR AWESOME, BOOM, also an inspiration for me was seeing your previous progress pics and how far you have come, keep up the good work mate.

LOL

I didn't actually mean no one gives a ****, I just said it to highlight the fact it's gone so off topic, from talking about you to not even caring and being more concerned about chicken

So sensitive little kai <3

Kai!!!

You look bloody great from the front, but from the back... :(
Might just be that photo, do you have any more?

I was going to say the same thing, your back looks really weak relative to the rest of you in that picture. Delts to arm ratio does you a disservice too.

Looking great though mate, nice work :)

How much on average do you spend a week on food, and where do you shop?

Asda, anything from £65 - 80 a week but that includes other items, cleaning products, etc

I don't have anything from this shoot, however i have a test image(sample shot) from a a shoot in May. It's better lighting and should give a better idea. Personally my back is my strongest bodypart by a country mile.

Agree, rear delts and chest is the focus for the next 12 months.
 
Neither of those shots will do you any favours for your back. But that second photo you can see potential.

Take a rear double bi. You want to create a V taper from the top and bottom. From there, flex your biceps and lean back. Don't squish your shoulder blades together; flare your lats as much as possible. Also, twist your arms back slightly as it helps bring out definition in your back and shows off your bicep peak more. If your arms are twisted forwards, your back tends to be more relaxed and it hides your arms.

Or if you can't be bothered to do that, just hang your arms by your side, slightly in front of your waist, will show off some width and any depth in your back
 
Thank you for the advice Steedie, like i say the second photo might show potential it's simple i just don’t know how to show it off best ( I am still learning ). On pull-up’s etc i have a nice Christmas tree going on as my b.f. is pretty low.
