How Many Calories in a Chicken Breast? Raw vs Cooked, Settled
USDA publishes four different figures for chicken breast — raw 120 kcal, stewed and grilled 151, roasted 165, all per 100 g — because cooking removes water and concentrates everything that is left. This guide shows the cooking yield behind that gap, the 68 kcal you lose every time you weigh cooked and log raw, and why raw weighing is the rule worth keeping.
The Highest-Protein Chipotle Order, by Grams per Calorie
Chipotle publishes calories and protein for every ingredient, so a bowl is not a menu item — it is a sum you control. Ranked by protein per 100 calories, chicken tops the chart at 17.8 g, and one build reaches 66 g of protein in 420 calories while the standard burrito manages 62 g in 1,315.
High-Volume, Low-Calorie Foods: Eating More by Calorie Density
Calorie density — kcal per 100 g — decides how much food a calorie budget buys, and it is mostly a question of water content: 100 calories is 714 g of celery or 11 g of olive oil. Twenty-five foods ranked from the lowest density up, the swap arithmetic worked out at a fixed plate weight, and the honest limits of eating this way.
How Many Calories in a Slice of Pizza? It Depends on the Diameter
USDA measured exactly one pizza — a 14-inch chain cheese pie, 853 g whole, 107 g and 285 kcal a slice. Scale that by area and the same one-eighth slice runs 208 kcal at 12 inches and 469 at 18, which is why "two slices" means nothing until you say how big the pie was.
Inside Open Food Facts: What 4.6 Million Products Do Not Tell You
PlateLens keeps a full monthly mirror of Open Food Facts and streamed every row of the July 2026 snapshot: 4,643,670 products, of which 1,063,626 (22.9%) hold no usable nutrition data at all. What an open, crowdsourced food database is really like — and why a product count is not a coverage claim.
Is Chipotle Healthy? Eight Real Orders, Counted
Eight ordinary Chipotle builds, summed from the chain's own published per-ingredient chart, run from 390 to 1,470 calories and from 1,190 to 2,950 mg of sodium — and the leanest order turns out to be the saltiest per calorie. Includes the full ingredient table, six single-swap levers, and why fresh tomato salsa carries roughly eighty times the sodium of an equal-calorie serving of sour cream.
Lowest-Calorie Ice Cream: Per Serving vs Per Container
Eighteen ice creams with both columns shown: calories per declared serving and calories for the whole container, from Halo Top and N!CK'S pints at 250-370 for the tub up to a Ben & Jerry's Half Baked pint at 1,110. Includes the full-fat baselines, a per-100 g column because declared servings range from 72 g to 141 g, which products are actually sold in Spain, and what we left out for lack of a readable label.
