That's way too much over-thinking for me.

Always weigh it in the raw form. All meat will lose a little weight in the cooking process, but still has the same protein content. If you are weighing post cooking then you are actually consuming more calories than you think you are.

How much weight we talking here from cooked to uncooked? Do it and see what the difference is , and if it makes you happy, go with a number inbetween both figures.
When I was weighing food, I would do it cooked.

I have always been told to weigh before its cooked but its to much work for me to plan out my meals for the week so mine are weighed after cooked

Depends on where you're getting your nutrient information for the given food....most packaging gives you nutrients as is, so just work on that..
If I'm about to eat 250g of a 500g pack of chicken breast I use the information on the packet for the raw weight, no need to over complicate things

This will not make any difference for the typical gym rat.
Unless you are competing for the Mr. O title, that's another story.

Try weighing several times (or several pieces if cooking a batch) before and after to give you a good average how much weight is lost douring cooking. It should give you a very good ball park number to work with but I doubt it will make much a difference in your daily total. Unless you are running a very tight diet...

For me 3.5 ounce chicken cooked is 4 ounce raw. So I use that. Base my diet on raw stats but know the conversion to cooked.
