food weight (raw v. cooked) how do you measure?


Quote  |  Reply

As far as veggies I weigh them on kitchen scale raw and use that for my cc.  But as far as meat(s), I also weigh fish raw.  Some thing I have to weigh cooked like a pork roast because I'm not eating the whole thing, so I weigh the cooked portion.

Tonight I'm making steak on the grill.  So would you weigh this before or after for cc purposed.  I realize the cc guide shows both for many ingredients...

Just curious how others do this.

I weigh my foods raw... um, unless I forget, in which case I weigh them after I cook them. 

I'm sure that doesn't help. 

What you're doing is right.   If you're cooking food from raw, look up the calorie-count for the raw weight.  If you're eating something ready-cooked... like the pork roast, enter the calorie-count for cooked.

If you're putting a steak on the grill, weigh it raw and log that.
