somethings specifiy how much a serving size is for cooked or uncooked. but what about things that don't like meat?

for example tonight i'm making a pork loin for dinner. I know that a serving of pork is 4 oz, but is that 4 oz of cooked pork? or 4oz of uncooked pork?

    It is for after it is cooked, it will lose some weight from the fat being cooked off.

    The best way to tell is with a food scale, unfortunately. Great question though... I have always taken that to mean "cooked" when it comes to meat. Although, there are those extremists that eat the raw stuff :) (and I am not talking sushi!) ...good luck!

    I've always been told that 3oz of cooked meat is about the size of a deck of cards. I'm a visual person so that's always helped me!
