Hmmmm. I use the nutrition label on the bag of my boneless, skinless chicken tenders and it says 1 serving is 4oz...is that 4oz raw or 4oz cooked?? I did it cooked tonight but I don't know if that is right because it seemed like a lot of chicken. Also what about dry pasta, rice, etc....dry or cooked?
I wonder about this all the time! I cooked with Dreamfields penne the other night but the WW tracker only recognized uncooked.... But I weight after it was cooked (my fault, but still!)
I've noticed some of the items in the tracker specifically say "cooked." Pork chops is an example. I've been counting raw weight if it says raw/uncooked but cooked weight for things like the pork chops I referred to (pork, chop, cooked, lean, without bone).
I actually asked my WW leader. It's essentially a point an ounce for cooked chicken. She said you get a little more than an ounce when it's raw. Also - more for dark meat.
4oz of raw would probably cook down to about 3oz. So, it'd prob be 3pts/4oz of raw or 3oz. cooked.

Weigh meat raw or cooked?
