Just wondering what you guys use to get the macros from your foods , for instance how much protein and fat does a cooked chicken breast have?? I’ve seen some rand from 6g-8g protein per ounce
What about the fats , that was actually my bigger concern. I don't mind getting a bit extra protein but a bit extra fat in each meal adds up quickI understand that some say a different gram amount 6-8.
But you just have to pick one and stick with it from then on.
6g per oz for chicken/lean ground beef
8g per oz for most cuts of steak
5g per oz for 93/7 ground turkey
7g per oz for tilapia
ive kinda stuck with that forever.
this. its vast.

Turkey and chicken do NOT compares to beef when it comes to amino profile.I always use MyFitnessPal just from habit of using it for many years and always weigh track every food I cook from scratch just prefer knowing what’s in them and I always read the label before purchasing any food and the first macro is calories then fat content as these two got to be on the lower end for me
not a big fat guy prefer low fat over high fat even protein meats Turkey over chicken better amino profile less fat better cuts of meat usually beef frying steak low fat tastes far nicer melts in your mouth than a sirloin that’s got way to much fat and its much tougher when eating.
also less fat means I can get eat and choose foods that’s much more filling and have more volume per meal
and rarely use sauces as sugar content is to high just spice seasoning very hot which have a benefit on metabolism also. And braggs beef aminos which are amazing combined with apple cider v mother.
Beef frying steak is beef lol. I consume this haven’t for a while but normally i do best beef out there in my opinionTurkey and chicken do NOT compares to beef when it comes to amino profile.
