Do you count protein before or after it's cooked?
I'm just wondering if you should count the protein before or after the meat is cooked? For instance, today I made turkey sausage. It was 3oz raw, but it was 2oz cooked.

You could the yield (cooked, not raw). When you cook meat, the part that "cooks away" is the fat.
Websites like www.calorie-count.com or www.calorieking.com will let you pick straight ounces of yields.

Protein unlike Carbohydrates is not store and there for can't be converted into sugar which unless burned off can turn into fat. So measuring before or after cooking really should make little difference.
You're incorrect.
In the absences of carbohydrates, the body can convert protein (amino acids) to sugar (glucose). It's called gluconeogenesis. You can find this topic in any biochemistry or nutrition & metabolism textbook.
However, I agree, cooking does not make much difference.
