Eat Real Food - Hackdot

I don't know where "1 unit" comes from, but the Portion menu lists 1 unit as 52g, and 0.5 breast as 86g. So 1 unit is about one third of one. Using the numbers on that site, you'd need 2-2.7 average skinless breasts to reach the target 108-146g, which is a lot more reasonable. And that assumes there's zero other protein being consumed.

I hope your numbers were more accurate when you determined you were struggling with hitting targets....

Oh yeah that's odd. What a weird measurement. Maybe a "serving" is considered a third?

No, I bought a kitchen scale and did everything by weight, it seemed like the only sensical solution. This is probably a good time to plug Cronometer! I'm not affiliated, just been a happy paying customer for a few years now. https://cronometer.com/

This business of "1 unit" is certainly making a good case for using a scale. Thanks for the link.
