Then I add up the calories for all the raw ingredients. Once the dish is cooked, I weight out the WHOLE dish and calculate how many grams it is (or ounces). Then I divide the calories for the ingredients that went into the dish by how much it made in its cooked form. Then, I calculate calories for 100 or 200 grams of that dish. I think as long as you are consistent, that's all that matters. Irene When making a recipe, I weight everything out in its raw form and find the calories.

I was wondering too is it weighed raw? or cooked? But after reading the postings i guess it depends on the recipe. Or like a whole chicken has to be weighed after. ( the beer butt are excelent but i use soda pop) Thanks again for the good web site with all the helps on our journey to control our weight and be healthy. i am glad this question has come up.

However if I am making a recipe that calls for cooked chicken and I am starting with leftover cooked chicken I use the NI for cooked. I weigh my pasta uncooked.

If I am making a recipe than I weigh things raw. If I am eating something like chicken from a whole roasted then I weigh it cooked. Depends what it is.
