You are correct, it is water that is lost. Let's put it this way you have 2 pieces of cooked chicken one weighs 4oz and one weighs 3oz. The 3oz one has been cooked 10 minutes longer than the 4oz one but both were exactly the same weight before they were cooked. So which one of the 2 cooked pieces of chicken has the most protein?

Well, I don't want to assume because that's what got my foot stuck in my mouth at the beginning of this thread. I'm going to say they both have the same amount of protein.
So, just so we can take this through to it's conclusion. Lets say I have a raw chicken breast that weighs 8oz. If we assume 7g of protein per oz then it's 56 grams. The fact that it cooks down to say 5.5oz is not relevant. It still has 56 grams of protein. No nutrients are lost in the cooking process? Right?
So I've based my diet on eating 6 oz of cooked chicken. Which was probably 8oz raw. So I need to redo my protein macros for the day.

kelkel's comments about not weighing food I like. I can (as I bet he can) eyeball a chicken breast and know it's about the same size I always have so there's no real need to weigh after a while. I can do the same with my oats and potatoes too, I'd be within a few grams of my visual estimation.
