Simply, if you are weighing your food do it raw and when doing your calculation do it on the raw weight.
When you log into calorie king or MFP or whatever they have raw weighted food types, so just use those calculations.
You will also tend to find slight variations in calories and macronuritent breakdown depending on the program you use, so just be consistent with the program you use to track your intake. Otherwise, use say calorie king to get the nutrient breakdown and then add the food as a 'custom food' into whatever tracking program you use if you want to be sure
Wouldnet this have the possibility of putting someone at a deficit or a surplus? with out knowing
If i weigh raw i end up eating atlot less. though my macros on that meal are for that raw weight, I may loose about 30% of that when i actually eat it.
If the nutritional table is values per 100G then people that weigh there food raw are just ripping them self off
What ever system your using does not know this so it will just log that extra water weight at part of your macros.
No because if they use nutritional tables from their raw food they would weigh it before they cook the meal. Or they make a total using all of the ingredients, calculate the macros before it is cooked, and then divide it up afterwards (without weighing it all again as it is not needed).
I think your issue is the system you are using. Since I just use my head and can calculate a running total I have no issues.
So I get my ingredients all raw calculate macro needs from there, cook food. Then I Divide it up into meals based upon the original macros from the raw food. I may only reweigh it to make sure they are close to even but I would not recalculate the macros I would instead only divide my original total into say quarters if I got 4 meals from it.
Does that make sense for you now?
ThisIf you are going to log cooked weights then just find the numbers on the net for your cooked food and stick with only using cooked as gruph stated. As long as you understand that using raw values does not lose you calories if you are calculating correctly is all that matters.
