Per-100g values are from USDA FoodData Central — Chicken, broiler or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, cooked, braised (FDC ID 171140). The per-serving column is that same data scaled to a common reference weight, not a separately measured value.
Calorie density
At 157 kcal per 100 g, chicken breast (cooked) is a moderate calorie-density food — under 100 kcal/100g is generally considered low, 100–300 is moderate, and above 300 is high. This is a rough rule of thumb, not a USDA category.
Worth knowing
This figure is for skinless, boneless breast meat only, cooked with no added fat — a common source of confusion, since chicken breast sautéed in oil or breaded carries meaningfully more calories and fat than this base value.
