AlexH96 128 Posted April 5 Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. So I have bought the frozen chicken breast from Iceland the one in the attached pic as somebody on here said they used it and it’s decent as I use to buy raw breast in bulk, weigh it up , bag it and freeze it so guessed this would be 100x easier. Only problem is it has no specific calorie per g on it like it doesn’t specify if it’s from frozen or defrosted weight like a lot of nutritional values they don’t specify well. So I want 200g of chicken which should be about 210-220 calories. So do I weigh out 200g of it out of bag frozen or do I weigh it defrosted as they won’t weigh same so it’s kind of confusing. Thanks guys p.s sorry if this post sounds completely retarded it’s just been bugging me lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jd 318 Posted April 5 It tells you consumed weight on the website, I’d like to think you wouldn’t eat it frozen https://www.iceland.co.uk/p/iceland-ready-cooked-sliced-chicken-breast-500g/64748.html?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Iceland+|+Generic+|+Smart+Shopping&utm_term=&utm_content=Ad+group&source=ppc&gclid=CjwKCAjw6qqDBhB-EiwACBs6x4y1sACEbOL9WLYdy7uYt0V-i0Hsnrjh4HRKxdaQL6TQNovTH2kCVxoCfQMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jd 318 Posted April 5 I guess there is no exact science to it, I’d weight out 250g frozen then weight again defrosted and see how much it’s lost I’m guessing it will just be trial and error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’ll contain quite a lot of water Surprisingly there was no water at all as they’re cooked chicken breast strips not raw so there was literally no water and the frozen weight was exact same as the defrosted weight. So that makes it easier, only thing is there only 98% chicken breast and have added salt only thing that concerns me. 1 1 DJ Tren and Sasnak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sean m 1336 Posted April 7 I was just about to say frozen/defrosted weigh the same. Uncooked/cooked are very different, depending on the quality of the chicken. That Island chicken seams to of gone downhill last couple of months, was quite good but last few bag's have been really stringy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeybiker 4883 Posted April 7 Unless loads of water comes out when you defrost it I would have thought the weight frozen and defrosted should be the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
epons400 74 Posted April 7 I count it as same I eat 100g a day in pack up sandwiches , tastes good to me mate i eat the diced version though but I believe values are the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
