I don't have one unfortunately. Aww maaaan! I was thinking well, 8oz liquid is like a cup, could I just measure out half a cup of chicken and hope that's somewhat accurate? I know that liquid measurements differ from solids, but that's the only way I can think of to do this.

Hehe, no, I don't think it works that way. I could be wrong, though. But it would seem to me a 1/2 cup of chicken isn't very much. Then again, who knows? Maybe doing it that way WOULD be right, lol.
Best gift you can buy yourself is a food scale. I prefer the digital kind so I can see exact numbers, but the others work too.
Hi Melanie - I think I saw one of your other posts about looking for a buddy around 20, and I'm 20! I also see that we seem to be on the same diet/fitness track (I too count calories quite obsessively and go to the gym at least 4-5 days/week). I'm thinking since 3 oz. is like your standard deck of cards, 4 oz. would only be slightly bigger. It also depends on the thickness of the chicken breast. Calorieking.com is another site for nutritional info.
If you dont have a scale you can "eyeball" it and just use a deck of cards as a guide for size, but I have found that 4oz of chicken breast is usually (for me at least) just barely over 1/2 of a breast.
I know this thread is kinda old, but melanie, if you see this, just look at the package. It should have the weight in ounce and in pounds. Or look at the serving size(also on the package). It will probably have something like: serving size: 4oz(about half a breast). Servings per package:6.5.
Of course I'm just stating an example, but look at the package to get the exact numbers.
Thank you for this thread. I've got chicken breasts in the crock pot for tonight's supper and I was trying to envision what 1/2 cup of chicken looked like too.
What do they mean when they say "4oz of chickenbreast"?
