Weighing Food

[Ateam2024]

i use a macro tracking app called "fatsecret" its a free app and is very accurate as far as macros of each food,

Raw, most meats lose at least 10% of their weight when cooked, that weight is mostly water weight so the protein content remains largely the same. Most macro tracking apps can differentiate between cooked and raw meats, veg etc., just keep consistent with how u track the weight and log as u go.

There are several macro tracking apps that are very useful for this. I use a small kitchen scale myself, it's always close to hand where i food prep, usually only takes a few seconds. Doing it so long now it's second nature.

Agree with Nlarge aswell about being able to eyeball it after so long

better to weigh food after cooking it imo/ime, less room for error

Weighing Food - Raw Vs. Cooked

Weighing food raw or cooked is a really common question with those new to flexible dieting. It has a fairly simple answer.

I was going to give my own example with chicken and uncertainty with cooking preferences and loss of water weight while nutrient profile largely remains the same but these cover it better.

Should You Weigh Your Meat Cooked or Uncooked?

I don't think it matters a great deal once ur consistent,

, pretty much covers my own take on it, just stay consistent and make relative changes as u go.
