Complete Chicken Calorie and Nutrition Guide

Chicken is one of the most popular protein sources worldwide, and knowing its calorie content helps with meal planning and nutrition tracking. Calorie counts vary significantly by cut: breast is leanest at about 165 calories per 100g, while thighs have about 209 calories per 100g with skin. Our AI accounts for the cut, preparation, and portion size visible in your photo.

Chicken Preparation Methods and Their Calorie Impact

How you cook chicken dramatically affects its nutritional profile. Grilling, baking, and poaching keep calories low and preserve protein content. Pan-frying adds moderate calories from oil, while deep-frying with breading can double the calorie count. Sauces and marinades also contribute calories. Our AI considers visible preparation methods when estimating calories from your photo.
