Examples

Meat calories depend heavily on fat content and cooking method. Here are common estimates per 100g cooked:

Meat	Calories (per 100g cooked)	Notes
Chicken breast	165 kcal	Lean, high protein
Turkey breast	135 kcal	Very lean option
Beef (lean)	190–250 kcal	Varies by cut & fat %
Pork loin	200–240 kcal	Lean to medium
Salmon	200–230 kcal	Higher fat, omega-3
Tuna	130–160 kcal	Very lean (water packed)

Breaded, fried, or heavily sauced meats can jump far above these numbers.

Tips for Better Accuracy

• Use per 100g numbers and scale based on your portion.
• Cooking oils, butter, and sauces can add calories quickly.
• When unsure, log a realistic range (low–high) and stay consistent.
• Track the same way each day—consistency beats perfection.
