Hello, I need to ask a question. ... chicken breast in my diet I weight it raw. It's 210g of raw chicken breast to have 45 grams of protein in the meal ... I'm going to have 6 meals and I need 45 grams of protein in the meals. I must gradually prepare my raw chicken breast, portion by portion of 210g, to have the correct amount of 45g of protein per meal .. ??? ... I was here thinking about weighing the chicken breast still raw; 1,400 kg of raw chicken breast to freeze in the refrigerator for 7 days a week; so, after completing rule 3, weigh again to adjust the amount of water lost after cooking and that's it ... what do you think of this? ??

When portioning your food, you want to weigh it when it has the least amount of water
For example
rice: weigh it uncooked
chicken: you weigh it cooked

When I buy chicken at BJs (they add 15% water), I only end up with about 60% of the starting weight after cooking. It's all water weight lost (which has no nutritional value). If I went w uncooked weight there, that 45g protein I thought I was getting, actually ends up being 27g

Certain foods I go by volume rather than weight.
Ie 1 cup of rice.
I don’t know why, I have always done it that way.

That's common
There's roughly 3/4 cup cooked white rice per serving. I think most people do it that way when it comes to rice.
Also things like almonds, I know some people count the number of almonds.
I could be wrong, but I think everyone who's been doing it long enough, weighs their meat cooked though

Yes. We don’t want to be short changed. That is our cheat meal. LOL
