    You should log it in whatever form you are measuring it. If possible, raw is best, in which case you need to choose an entry in the database that specifies raw. If you have already cooked it, you should log it using a cooked entry. When in doubt, you can double check if an entry is correct by checking the USDA information.

    Totally agree here.

    I use different chicken entries based on whether I weighed it raw (cooking just for myself) or whether I weighed it cooked (leftovers or cooking for family).
