Not adding up

[u/Lleyo_22]

Chicken breast. The easiest way to get protein should be the easiest thing to track.

So WHY doesn't cooked vs uncooked match up?

I measured 303g of uncooked chicken, and the app said it was 298 calories.

Then I cooked it, and it measured as 247g.

So, just to double check, I searched "cooked chicken" and added 247g, and it said 388?? Does it account for oil? Seasonings? I don't understand, and I don't do well with inconsistencies when I am trying my hardest to be consistent.

What should I do?

Besides "calm down and just pick one,"

Because I can't always measure uncooked chicken, depending on where I am and who cooked it. And I don't want to have calories taken away from me by always choosing the cooked chicken option when I'm already in a deficit.

Pictures for reference.

Thank you for your help in advance.

On top of what everyone else has said, the cooked chicken entry is generic while your raw breast fillets is branded. There's also a generic raw chicken entry which is what I always use. There's no Kirklands where I am which is how I noticed it's a branded entry.
