I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I honestly don't know. Would the calories in cooked meats be the same if cooked differently? For instance, I've found tons of listings for broiled, pan fried, and roasted meats. Only, I haven't found any listings for boiled meats. Well, I do a low of cooking in my slow cooker and I figure the closest thing would be boiling.

Any input would be helpful and appreciated.

I think the best thing to do would be to buy a food scale (if you don't already have one) and weigh the meats before cooking; then you know exactly how much you have, and you can log it as raw, and then just add the extra things you cook it with to your food log seperately. If the meat is packaged, just go by what the packaging says.

The manner in which something is cooked won't actually change the amount of calories in the item itself. But for example... with eggs. Scrambled eggs have like 100 calories a serving on this site and boiled eggs have something like 80. That's because they assume that you cook the scrambled eggs with butter. Just log each item separately, and log your meat as raw like alysha said. :)
