Weighing before or after cooking
So I am finding answers on both sides of this question
Do you weigh your foods before or after cooking.
I know that cooking will change the weight of food quite a bit.
4 ounces of ground turkey or hamburger isn't going to weigh the same after you grill it.
I have the question out to my dietician already, but while waiting for an answer I thought I would ask here as well.
Just got the response from the Dietician
AFTER cooking

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
i have never weighed any food... but i would guess the cooked weight is a true representation... if you owned a restraunt you would sale items pre cooked weight. 12 oz steak cooked is more like 9.5

I always do after cooking too.
Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
