Nutritional Info Question

I'm about to bake myself some fries as a snack and I'm a little confused. It says on the package that 85 grams or 32 fries is a portion, but when I weigh 85 grams of uncooked fries on my food scale it amounts to twelve fries. Would that mean that a portion is 85 grams of cooked fries or uncooked? Because if it's uncooked, then 32 fries is innacurate. I know this might seem like a silly question, but I need to know as I don't wanna be eating less or more than I should. Thanks!!! :flowerforyou:

    I just go with the number/ serving suggested in most cases.

    I'm going to assume frozen fries are heavier, adn they are talking about a serving of cooked fries

    to be safe I'd weigh both before and after.
