My buddy's brother does this. I asked him if it has been working for him. He is in a cutting phase and said yeah.

I weigh after, I cook 40 breast at time and they all weigh about 4 oz before so then I just equal them out afterwards.

I do it In bulk too. That's why I was dong it after. Seems like it would be a PITA to do it raw and in bulk.

lol yeah it gets annoying, however i eat a lot of mince (chicken, beef, turkey) so when i weigh it raw, i make balls out of them. and then when i cook it in bulk, i know how much is in each ball, if you get what i mean.
chicken breast, steaks, etc.. would be annoying though.

Weigh all your food in its uncooked state.

All foods should be weighed raw, no exceptions.
Thanks

Why, if you know the macros of your cooked food then there is no reason. Now if it is someone who just started counting cals and keeping up with macros I understand. So op if you don't know these things then yes scale it raw, but when you get experienced than either way will be fine. There is no way to weigh raw if cooking large quantities. But there are plenty of ways to know the macros of cooked food.

I'm unsure as to your point that you can't weigh large quantities of food raw?NO SOURCES GIVEN

For the 'beginner' it is good practice to weigh food and know exactly what they eat. It's more exact to do it raw because 100g of chicken weighed raw will always yield the same macros whether it is 90g or 60g in its cooked state. Carbs that absorb water are the same (but the opposite), rice and pasta gain water and may be entirely different weights if you cook them for different periods.
The differences in each portion may very well be negligible but over 6 meals a day, 7 days a week it will all add up.
Be interesting to see if you weigh a meal in its raw form if it yields the same macro's in its cooked form that you are used to.NO SOURCES GIVEN
