Fitday has the option for selecting either raw or cooked ... and under the cooked option, you can select based on the RAW weight, including bone/fat if any .. and it will calculate the resulting yield of edible portion for you.
From way back in my Weight Watchers days ... we were given this standard "rule of thumb": - 25% shrinkage factor for water/fat, plus additional 25% waste for bone. So, an 8 oz. boneless chop would yield 6 oz cooked portion. And 8 oz chop with bone-in, would yield 4 oz cooked edible portion.
Poultry's a bit of a harder guess depending on the part, since the leg quarter has a much higher ratio of bone-to-meat as compared to the breast.
BACON is one that reduces drastically from raw to cooked yield. 3 slices raw have over 300 calories and 30g fat. When cooked and the grease drained away, those 3 slices have only 109 calories and 9g fat .. similar count in fact, to one ounce (30g) cheddar or swiss cheese
