Calorie counting – is it important to weigh and record food before or after preparation (cooking, baking, frying)?

How do you do it right?

I think it's after preparation, right? …although, then the rice or noodles would have absorbed the water and would therefore be significantly heavier!

As a rule, the nutritional values for the raw/uncooked food apply. Hot, on the noodle pack of dried noodles, the data for 100 g are in this uncooked state.

In this case, you would have to weigh beforehand, as such noodles significantly increase weight during preparation. Alternatively, you can find nutritional values for cooked noodles from the Internet, there are.

But there are also exceptions! If a nutrient is particularly sensitive to you or to the boils, you just have to look closely at what “state” the information is, often it is. Compare emergency with similar products.

The data specified on the package apply to the product as it is in the packaging. In the case of cans and glasses which also contain water, the weight of the solid components is additionally given as “in weigh”.

Do you want me to seriously tell you what I think of calorie counting? NOT.

What do you want to do with calorie counting? Weight loss?

If so, you have to eat VIEL. But the right things! Then you can forget about the annoying calorie counting!

Much vegetables, lots of meat and fish (possibly raw, except poultry of course, that must always be cooked) and extremely little carbohydrates (a lot less noodles, potatoes, rice and, above all, no sugar or sweets). Drink plenty of water, no soft drinks.

This is all very varied and a lot of movement — and already purging the pounds.

Addendum:

And if it’s just about fitness, counting calories doesn’t matter, but still the recommendations above.

Well, as I said, If so, then…

What’s the background? I’d say 99.99% would be the background.

Before, cooked is inaccurate

Depends on what you’re looking at in the calorie table. Pasta cooked or noodles raw;-)
Apart from that, if you weigh 100g noodles raw and cook, they still have as many calories as before cooking, because water has no calories.
