Weighing Food

mark_mfp

Hi All

I'm doing pretty well on my weight loss journey, and recently started weighing a lot of food that i eat at home. I was baking a sweet potato today. Weighted 14oz before baking and 8.5oz after, so should I enter the cooked weight or raw weight for the half that I ate?

Thanks

Mark

I say simply look up "raw potato" or "cooked potato" and the type of potato and do it that way. Easier than wondering. lol

There are entries for both the raw and cooked weight in the database. I prefer to weigh raw, but whichever you choose just make sure you pick the matching entry when you log it.
