    If in doubt, weigh it before - it will shrink after cooking, so if anything, you would be overstimating a few calories, rather than being under.

    this confused me aswell so i weigh everything before its cooked, at least if its wrong ive over estimated rather than under estimated the calories! :)

    Until recently I didn't realise there was a difference (never gave it much thought). I tend to weigh raw (I can't pick out all my chicken in the dish and weigh it) but made the mistake of entering it's cooked version.
