Cooking alters food weight primarily through two mechanisms: moisture loss and water absorption.
Meats and fish lose water and fat during cooking, causing them to shrink. Chicken breast typically loses 25% of its weight, while fattier cuts like ground beef can lose up to 35%.
Grains and legumes do the opposite — they absorb water and expand. Rice triples in weight, and pasta roughly doubles. Our calorie estimate uses the raw-equivalent amount; actual nutrition can vary with preparation.
Either works, but be consistent. Most nutritional databases list raw values, so weighing raw is slightly more accurate.
We estimate calories from the raw-equivalent amount. Cooking and preparation can change nutrient content, so the displayed value is an approximation.
They're good estimates based on average ratios. Actual results vary by cooking method, temperature, time, and specific food brand or cut.
Absolutely! Convert your raw recipe amounts to estimate final cooked portions, or reverse-calculate from cooked weights for logging.
