How is everyone weighing their food to put into MyFitnessPal?
I typically weigh things raw for single serving cooking for myself (breakfast/lunch/snacks during the work day), and when creating recipes within the app. When creating recipes that we are gonna eat on for multiple days/servings for dinner, after it is cooked do you log your portion as is or do you add additional gram weight?
Like if I do a crockpot meal and throw in all my raw protein, veggies, etc and it all comes out to 200g and a raw 50g serving is 300 cal (to make it easy) and create that as a recipe, then when everything is done cooking and I weigh out a 50g cooked serving, everything has shrunk and cooked down and I would get more of what would typically be a 50g raw portion, wouldn't it be more calories?
Should I add like an additional 10-20 grams of the raw recipe when logging to account for the weight loss? Am I overthinking it lol..
I'm not super concerned about it at this point in my journey, just something that has been on my mind. I've still been dropping weight consistently the past 3 months creating recipes with raw ingredients and logging them cooked, but I imagine once I get closer to my goal weight and my TDEE shrinks this is something I might have to think about.
