When to weigh food?

Before or after you cook it? Bacon for example, is very heavy before it's cooked and super light after. When am I supposed to weigh the food I enter?

You're supposed to weigh all meats raw (before cooking).
It's funny you mention bacon though because on the kind I buy (some kind by Tyson) it tells you how much bacon should weigh after you cook it. So typically raw, but you can take a look at the nutrition label, too, and see if they came up with some random nonsense.
Also as a general rule of thumb, always weigh everything if you want to try and be as accurate as possible.

I would say after. MFP does give the values for both raw and uncooked food, so just make sure you're searching for the right version

Before whenever possible. But as mentioned above whichever way you chose be sure to use the entry that corresponds to the way you used.

It won't make any difference if you're consistent and choose the corresponding entry (raw or cooked). Most of mine is after just because I rarely eat the full piece so I need the cooked weight to divide out my portion. Didn't affect my deficit and hasn't affected my maintenance.
