weighing

im finding it much easier to just weigh before cooking till i scan something and it gives the option lol. i saw a package at the store said calories 120 raw 130 cooked how can cooking something add calories to it? lol

You'd have to give an example of what it is...my guess is that it's 4oz raw, 4oz cooked...the 4oz cooked would have had a higher pre-cooked weight because some water is often cooked out. That's pretty negligible anyway.

I notice lots of things give nutrition as "cooked according to instructions" which often includes things like added butter, oil, milk etc - hence the additional calories

If I can find a calorie count for "cooked" whatever, I use that.

very true--like brownies, cookies, rice a roni, etc. forgot about those things.
