Calorie calculation on pre and post cooked meats

I’ve read repeatedly on this blog that when measuring meats, the measurement should be pre-cooked.

So, tell me if this example is right:
Pre-cooked pork loin roast weighs 1214 grams. Total calories = 1071. Portioned into six servings, each serving has 178.5 calories. Pre-cooked weight per serving should be 202 grams. However, after the roast is cooked it now weighs 841 grams. Dividing the post-cooked roast into six servings equals 140 grams per serving, but I still consider each serving at 178.5 calories each. Is that correct?
