    I weigh my meat after cooking because it does shrink.

    Some of the entries will say the state of of the item, ie. grilled, boiled, raw, etc. Just use the appropriate entry.

    Most items outside of meat I tend to weigh raw.

    This depends on the food, but as most has stated generally the food database will state raw, cooked, boiled, etc.
    If I'm recipe building generally everything is raw, but there are things like chicken thighs that I remove meat from the bone AFTER cooking and will weigh then ..
