Nice work. Your predicted result gives you a nice hypothesis to test the calorie in calorie out model. Surprisingly accurate! It was also interesting that the prediction tended to overstimate the weight loss. Something systematic that needs adjusting?
I'd love for someone to do this with beer.

Eating just chicken you'll lose glycogen which is 80% water, so you'll lose more weight, while losing the same amount of fat. So when you go into extreme diets, there is a problem with measuring exactly what is going on if all you use is a scale.
