Preparation
Roasted breast with skin is 197 kcal per 100 g against 165 without: the skin adds 32 kcal and 4 g of fat per 100 g, and the protein per 100 g dips slightly because skin is not muscle. Roasting drives off about a quarter of the raw weight (raw with skin is about 172 per 100 g). Crisping the skin does not remove its fat; it renders some into the tray.
Logging this food
USDA's half breast with skin is 98 g cooked and 193 kcal; a cup chopped 140 g, 276 kcal. If you eat the meat and leave the skin, use the skinless row — the difference is a fifth of the calories. Weigh cooked against this row, or raw against the raw-with-skin row; do not mix them.
Swaps and alternatives
Taking the skin off saves 32 kcal per 100 g and nothing worth mentioning in protein. Thigh with skin is fattier again, at about 232. A breast rubbed with a teaspoon of oil and roasted skinless lands close to this row's calories with more control over what the fat is.
