Weighing frozen food.

Hi all silly question but i'm having some oven chips tonight when we weighed them 100g was like 8 chips!!! is it the frozen or the cooked weight? and is there acually likely to be much difference?

I typically use the frozen weight. Things are typcially lighter after cooking, from lost water content.

I always weigh uncooked, frozen or not.

I usually go with the weight it says on the packaging.

But it sounds 8 chips = 100grams would be right

Calorie wise you could part boil some potato slices and then oven cook them with a little fry lite/1 cal spray.

I tried this when i did slimming world and i wasn't a huge fan, i even tried an actifry.Saying that my inlaws like them .I'm acually having 200g now i have more than enough calories left for a few chips.

If you have some cals left you can try the same thing with some cracked black pepper sprinkled over and also crack an egg over the top?

Enjoy your cals
