Tracking question.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I eat a lot of boneless chicken thighs, and on the packet it states “Typical values (pan fried) per 100g”
So I’ve just pan fried 2 packets, which after trimming excess fat, weighed 1.1kg (raw), divided by 5 meals, is 220g. Now I know it’s not gunna be 100% accurate as I’ve trimmed off fat which the nutrition label has accounted for, but when entering it into MFP, do I add it as it’s raw weight, or the weight when it’s been pan fried?
I weighed it after cooking and it would work out about 140g, rather than 220. So the difference is big depending on how I track it.

The way that is phrased, I would think they mean you to weigh it before cooking.0
