Weighing Food Timing
Hey guys!
Straight forward question: do you weigh your food while it's hot out of the oven, wok or some other kitchen tool?
The other day I sauteed some chicken breast and I went back to check the weight of one meal and I realized it was half an ounce lower than I thought.
I checked them all and realized every one was a few fractions of an ounce off. (I was aiming for 5oz and they were coming out 4.6 - 4.7)
Was it water still in it? Should I let it rest before I place it in my containers ?
Thanks!

Weigh it raw. Most of the weight lost is water evaporating, so most of the nutrition should still be there.

Weigh it in some form or the other, and just stick with it. Consistency is the key with weighing (as these numbers aren't that accurate anyway).

Weigh everything before it's cooked; otherwise, the cooking process will either increase or reduce the weight of the food, making your calorie/macro calculations inaccurate.Originally Posted by adamhimself

Thanks for the advice!Originally Posted by ironwill2008
After you cook it... how do you split it up for all of your meals with accuracy? Do you eyeball or reweigh it and then divide that?Nothing ever is, but is always becoming.

Personally, I like to weigh things in the form I eat them in. If raw is how I eat it, that's what I want readings of. I don't wanna get one weight, and then have what I planned on change up on me. I like to know exactly what i'm getting.
