Hey guys, I am keeping track of my daily calories and macro breakdowns, and have found a lot of conflict on the amount of protein in turkey. I buy boneless skinless turkey breast tenderloins from the local supermarket, and it tends to be my primary source of protein.
A preset food item on fitday (the calorie counting service I use) has a food item, "Turkey, fryer-roasters, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted." It says 4 oz of meat is 0.8g fat, 0g carb, 34g protein. However, I bought a whole turkey post-thanksgiving ($1 per pound!), and the nutritional label says that for 4 oz of roasted white meat the breakdown is 6g fat, 0 carbs, 22g protein.
I'm assuming they're including the skin and fat into the figure which would explain the higher fat, but the protein is quite a bit off from the fitday figure.
Which one is right, 22g or 34g?
Also, I measure weight pre-cooking. So if I buy 2 lb of raw turkey, after cooking I will divide it into four 0.5lb divisions and each time I eat one count it as 0.5 lb. Is this the right way to do it, or is there a big difference between pre and post cooked?
Thanks guys!
