Hi

I am pretty organised so I do a lot of preparation for my meals in advance. With me doing this I put all items I need to cook in my diary as raw weight. I know cooking changes the weight of food but how much will it change the calorific content?

Is it so bad I am doing it this way?

Just to add if I am doing something like mashed sweet potato I put the butter I am going to add to it down as a separate item, same with anything I am roasting in an oil.

Thanks

Debs

    shouldnt change the caloric value. unless its been steam or boiled off.

    I will be steaming a lot of the veg but I am only concerned if it adds calories. Losing a few will only be a benefit
