Why the "raw" specification. I've seen many meats on fitday with nutritional info listed for raw meats. Wouldn't you want the info for cooked meats?... unless of course you plan to eat it raw... (are you eating it raw? )

Thanks, and sorry again for the intrusion.

Hi Coriolis, I think it's safest to use the "raw" specification because, that is the most accurate way to weigh it. The weight can vary after its cooked, depending on how long you cook it.

Having said that, Fitday does give info for some cooked meats. Can't remember which offhand, but I always prefer the raw option.

(No, not to eat!

) For a start if I buy the meat from the supermarket - and I usually do - I already know the weight without having to fiddle around with scales.

HTH!
