harvest_moon321 Posts: 85 Joined: 2004/09/17	2005/04/08, 06:25 PM I’m a still a little confused does the nutritional information change after you cook things? . Basically I was eating extra lean beef and per 100g is 124kcal, protein 20.9, fat 4.5 After I cooked it I weighed it and it came to 300g’s of beef, but its raw weight is 500g’s. So do I go by the whole weight of the packet or the weight of when it’s cooked? (I hope that makes sense) I was working the total calories out to be 372 when it should have been 620? And the protein should have been a lot higher? Would appreciate any help, thanks.
