Hi all- this may be a silly question - but for those who use a food scale (esp to measure proteins) so you weigh before or after cooking? My mother just got me a scale as a pre-surgery gift and I've never used one before.

I always weigh after cooking

depends on what i am doing ... if i cooked a lot i weigh after if its just meats that i am freezing for future use.. i weigh before

This may sound silly, but it depends. If I am making bread, I measure before If I am cooking ground beef for storage, I measure after. If I am concerned about portion size, I measure after because most nutritional information is for cooked, rather than raw.

I measure after cooking.

Thanks, everyone!
