When weighing meat

When weighing meat do you make allowances for the bones? I am mainly asking because of spareribs. I do weigh it but it is more bone than meat.

    I weigh it all together then weigh the bones and subtract. The difference is correct.

    This. You have to weigh it cooked and use the cooked database entries when you do this. (Sorry if too obvious.)
