Question: what is the difference in weight between cooked and uncooked chicken?
Answer: In general, meat, poultry and fish will shrink about 25 percent when cooked. Sixteen ounces (1 pound) of raw boneless, skinless chicken breast will therefore yield about 12 ounces of cooked chicken. ... As you can see, 4 ounces raw is comparable to 3 ounces cooked calorically.
