Banvit Chicken Chop - How Many Calories?

Weighing and cooking Banvit chicken chop

This chicken chop is a skin-on upper-thigh cut, not chicken breast. Its preparation matters when comparing nutrition: breast meat or cooked skinless thigh cannot simply supply the figures for this product. The calculator uses the manufacturer's raw-product information.^[1]

Calories and protein per 100 g

A 100 g raw edible portion provides 200 kcal, 17.2 g protein and 14.2 g fat. On that basis, 150 g gives 300 kcal and 25.8 g protein. Minerals and vitamins absent from the manufacturer's information remain unknown here, rather than being filled with estimates or treated as zero.

How much does one chicken chop weigh?

There is no fixed weight for one chop. Piece size varies, and the bone contributes to the weight on the scales. Use raw skin-on edible meat weight, excluding the bone. If the edible portion of two pieces weighs 200 g, it supplies 400 kcal and 34.4 g protein; counting two pieces alone does not establish that weight.

The same rule applies to a 400 g amount, half a kilo or a 1 kg pack. A bone-in package is not all edible meat. Enter the relevant edible weight in the gram calculator instead of treating the entire package as food eaten.

When weighing skin-on boneless thigh skewers, remove the stick rather than a bone. Skewer and chop counts do not represent equal meat weights because the cuts and inedible parts differ.

What changes after grilling or removing the skin?

Cooking changes water and fat content. A 150 g raw portion does not necessarily weigh 150 g after grilling, so the raw figure cannot describe 150 g of cooked meat. Removing skin changes the basis too. For cooked skinless upper thigh, use a record matched to that preparation. Count added cooking oil and sauces separately. The coating and protein calculation for Banvit schnitzel explains why that cooked coated product is counted separately from raw chicken chop.

The ready-marinated chicken chop ingredients also include oil, sugar and starch. Do not copy the plain chop’s values to a sauced product from the same brand.

The baked chicken chop with potatoes and paste is a prepared-recipe example without a specified meat brand. Its vegetables and oily sauce prevent a gram-for-gram substitution with raw chicken chop.

Can chicken chop fit a weight-management meal?

It can. Look beyond the word “chicken” and consider skin, edible portion size, added fat and the rice or bread served alongside it. Vegetables add variety to the meal; they do not cancel the meat's calories. Keep utensils used for raw poultry away from ready-to-eat food and cook the product thoroughly according to its packaging instructions.

The retailer lists 837 kcal / 200 kJ, apparently reversing the energy units. This page uses the manufacturer's 200 kcal figure instead. Your current package takes priority if its declaration differs.^[2]
