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
