Chicken Nutritional Facts -- Raw then Cooked?

[Legion Kreinak2]

Okay, on FitDay, I checked for boneless, skinless raw chicken. The nutritional facts are about 150 calories, 31 grams of protein, 3.4 grams of fat or whatever. Anyway, I look at boneless, skinless COOKED and it says about 230 calories, and 43 grams of protein...

What's up with that? Does the chicken have more nutrients somehow when cooked? Someone explain this oddity...

I'm looking at 5 oz. of chicken, both ways, by the way.

I'd guess its a discreptancy in their system

Strange, you might have missed something, maybe it was a bigger portion (check the size) or it was mixed w/ something. Or a system problem. There is NO way cooked chicked is more protein, if anything, it would be less.

ehm raw chicken has more water when cooked this evaporates. Thus cooked chicken (if compare the same weigth) has more protein. 5 ox of raw chicken does not equal 5 oz of cooked.

BTW, cheap chicken breast hold a lot water due to artificial growth hormones and other chemicals
