Protein synthesis plateaus at 1.6 g/kg/day. More adds little (Morton et al., Br J Sports Med 2018). Per 100 g chicken thigh: 188 kcal, 17.1 g protein, 13.4 g fat. Bone-in thighs yield ~65% edible meat — log the meat, not the whole piece.
How should I track Chicken thigh (meat and skin, raw)?
Chicken thigh (meat and skin, raw) is a good source of protein. The simplest way to track Chicken thigh (meat and skin, raw) accurately is to weigh it raw, before cooking. According to USDA cooking yield data, meat loses 20–30% of its weight during cooking as moisture evaporates — so 150 g raw becomes roughly 105–120 g cooked. If you log the cooked weight using raw nutrition values, you will undercount your protein and calories. A kitchen scale takes the guesswork out of it. Quick tip: cook a batch, weigh it before and after, and you will know your personal shrink ratio for next time.
