Weigh before or after cooked?

[twalla]

Ok YT'ers do you know if you weigh your meat, ie pork chop before or after you cook it to get an accurate reading on fat grams, calories etc?

Hi, it's before you cook it. That dosen't mean you can add a load of toppings....lol j/k I NEED to get my scale back out. It truly is the ONLY way to count calories and fat. I just started journeling my food again. I have lost over 200 pounds low fat/low cal I still have a goods way to go. Good Luck!

I dropped quite a bit quickly about a year or so by writing down everything, even gum, that went into my mouth. It made a huge difference. I was known as the diet nazi.

I have a nice scale but didnt say one way or the other. I was hoping it was afterwards, that meat shrivels when ya cook it, lol.\

Congrats on your weight loss. Thats awesome.

It is before.

Yea....I wrote down gum and a lifesaver if I had it. It is amazing how much we don't think we eat when we don't count.

I did allow one day that I didnt count but I did write it down still. Like I ate a sensible breakfast and lunch then I said.. ok, you deserve Mexican food tonite!
