oops i mean how should you weigh any food..ive been taking it as its raw weight..is that right?

 

[ZKaudio]

yes, you're supposed to weigh it raw. I'm sure mr.x can further explain the significance of calculating it precookage.

 

[iamcdn]

when you cook something it loses water and therefore weight. (i think) so id measure it precooked (at least the store measures it precooked, i just use that as my measure)

could be wrong, normally i am

raw

But if you have the nutricional data for, let's say, 100 grs of roasted chicken woudn't you weight it roasted?
