Doing the math, I get 5 1/3 oz RAW meat to get 28 grams of protein (28g divided by 21grams = 1 1/3 servings x 4 oz serving size = 5 1/3 oz). I have no idea about converting from raw to cooked, though. Since the packaging lists raw nutritional information, measure before you cook. Then you can also weigh after it's cooked to get an idea for next time how much shrinkage you get (so you'll know what you're eating if you cook up a bunch of crumbles ahead of time and just use a little in a meal). How much meat shrinks when you cook it has a lot to do with how much fat and water content it has and how well done you make it. So it depends on the type of meat, the cut of meat, preparation, etc. There's no easy formula that spreads over all meat products.
