10oz. Cooked OR precooked for diet portions?

[muscledoc1]

Do i measure for my diet(meal-portions)10oz. cooked(chicken or beef)-or precooked?-also how about carbs and fats?

It depends how many grams of protein you want from your portion. I always weigh after, but I weigh in grams instead of oz. There are a bunch of good site for figuring out your macros, I use nutritiondata.com, bodybuilding.com, and sometimes caloricount.com

lets say i needed 10oz. of chicken breast or lean ground beef(48grams of protein)-would that be cooked?

I measure my portions cooked.

100g cooked chicken = 29g protein (or atleast that is the information I have been provided with)
48g/29g = 1.655
100g x 1.655 = 165.5g of cooked

measure out roughly 165 grams of cooked chicken and you will have roughly 48 grams. Those are obviously very specific, I tend to approximate.

I always measure mine uncooked and then cook it. Because when you cut it uncooked, u can used it again and cook it. But when you cook it and then cut it and weigh it, what if u dont need the rest of it and put it in the fridge. Better to cook it fresh otherwise it taste like rubber. It really doesnt matter how u weigh it when it is cooked or not cooked. From a Chef point of view I would weigh it raw and then cooked it. You work out what's best for you.

Hope it helps...

Boneless breast chicken uncooked....1 oz (28grams) = 8 grams of protein..Go from there

i always figured that whether cooked or uncooked the protein amount will be the same. I always weigh raw in meat so cooking usually makes it weigh less. correct me if I'm wrong.
