I've done a few searches, I couldn't find too much info on the subject here, correct me if I'm wrong with some links, please.
I've been having some serious questions with my diet as of late and how I have been counting my calories. Some foods I measure raw, while others, I measure cooked.
Example: I measure about 270 grams of raw egg whites for breakfast and record macros as follows:
130 calories
29.44g protein
2g carbs
.44g fat
I have never taken the weight after I cook em, although I know it would be much less. But for things like chicken, tilapia, and steak, I measure and record the weight after I cook it.
Another thing that is confusing me is the different information I am getting from websites like fitday, caloriecount, and the nutritional info from the bag of costco frozen chicken breasts. They are all different and some of the differences are not slight, either.
Is there some industry standard when it comes to weighing food that I might have missed over the years?
