kylemillerca, FitDay includes sodium in cooked foods because people tend to spice their foods with salt when cooking. Some use more, some use less, so FD does it's best at guessing how much is added.
It's safer to use RAW food portions to avoid excess salt amounts.
With chicken breasts however, I wouldn't be surprised if FD is correct. Have you noticed that
all raw chicken is packaged with a brine as a preservative?
