Cooked weight or raw weight? page

[CavemanJoe]

On the nutrition info label on a pack of chicken breast I have, it says that, per 100g, it gives 23g of protein. Now is that before or after it is cooked? Or doesn't it make any difference?

As you buy it

As packaged, so raw.

That being said, I don't think you lose any protein when you cook meats. Some fat runs off and some water, but not protein.

Yeah - mostly lose water weight while cooking. But this is good to know for any measurements

You can find both raw weight and cooked weight in your references.
