    I do mine after, "as prepared" is how you can look it up.

    I just noticed something this AM...

    I weigh my food like I weigh myself. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I put the food on the scale...then take it off. I shake it around in the bowl a few, and put it back on the scale. I wiggle it on the scale, and then I take the lowest number I see.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    What about pasta? Are you supposed to weigh it before or after it's cooked?

    I measure pasta dry because thats generally how it's listed on it's nutritional label, but I do meats cooked. Just be sure to choose correctly when you log that food as "3oz salmon, grilled" is not going to be the same as "3oz salmon, raw"
