Frozen Veg and Chicken - Weights/Calories

Jason7Scott

Hey,

Wondering if anyone has any insight or experience. Realised today that i am weighing frozen veg and chicken in its frozen state and recording it as that. The items in my diary are the frozen products (i.e. i barcode scanned the packaging so MFP knows its frozen). Part of my diet is, for example, 100g of veg and 200g of chicken. When i weight this, have i been doing this correctly by weighing out 200g of chicken from the bag frozen, cooking and eating, or should effectively be defrosting it first before?

As its a frozen scanned product, i would assume that the nutritional information would reflect that?

Thought of it as i was cooking just now and thought i should get some clarification.

Thanks all!
Jason

I weigh my items frozen when they're frozen and log them the same as the thawed items. I think the little bit of water that melts off is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks for the reply! Think ill keep it the same. Just checked packaging again and it does not say anything about it being in thawed state, so i would assume the nutritional info must reflect what is being sold..

Thanks again!
