Count protien value after cooked or before?

[beatango2008]

OKay so the scales I have weigh out the protien value along with all the other values of the food,
I have been weighig it out before I cook it to 40g of pro from my steak.
but tonight I put in on the scales and weighed it after it was cooked and it was like twice that, so what should I go by?
what do you guys do?

I measure my portions cooked, in accordance with the Nutritional Labels.
