Meat

Do you weigh your meat before or after you cook it

You can do either, just use the cooked or raw entry, depending on how it is when you weigh it: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list?ds=Standard+Reference

(If using the information on the package it is usually raw unless it says otherwise.)

I weigh raw if cooking a specific piece of meat without bones. I weigh cooked when it has bones, since you don't include the weight of the bone. Also, when cooking a whole chicken or something, since obviously I don't know what I'm eating until I take it off the bird.

Personally I do afterwards, but I don't add any seasoning til after I've portioned it out for meals.
