    I would go with the weight after it was cooked, the weight difference is usually the fluid in the meat and the fat that cooks out.

    I measure mine after, but you can do either. Just make sure you select the right option in the food database: ex: chicken breast, meat only, grilled- 3 oz, vs chicken breast, meat only, raw, 7 oz
