weighing food?

[Alphatier]

So I weigh all my food, but I have a problem now. I roasted 1lbs of shrimps, and on the package it says:

per 100g
Cal: 60
Fat: 1g
Carb: 0g
Pro: 12g

Now after I roasted all of them (1 pound) I weigh them, and they all come up to about 150g!!! How can I count the macros now? Should I have weighed them before roasting?

yeah, i usually weigh things before cooking or doing anything to them in their raw form.
for example you dont weight your breast chicken after cook do you?

anyway just weight everything before cooking it.

I weight my lean mince after i cook as alot of it is water. That extra water weight would put off the macros. It would also depend what your reffering to (macros cooked or raw.

What macros do you have a for a chicken breast? I'm not fully convinced to believe fitday numbers yet.

Calorieking has different lables for raw and cooked food. I use em a lot

usually most macros are when things are raw, but some sites do have both of course.
like calorieking.

somethings to measure cooked for example would be brown rice..

Well I usually use www.nutritiondata.com where there's different options you can select(cooked,fried,roasted,etc), so I always weigh the food after cooking and roasting because I get the macros for it.
