That is a good question, Jen. I always wonder the same as well, is it counted as cooked or raw weight? I buy 16 0z pkgs steakhouse ground beef and divide in 3, and count each serving as 5 oz (close enough!). Idk if it is correct or not, but that's how Ive been doing it! 

And that looks great!! Im ready for some food! 

The pickles are the winner!!! 

Looks like the best meal ever. I always count cooked…because that’s how I eat my ground beef. For the lion diet, try going longer than a week (2-4). For me personally, it always takes me a bit longer than a week for my body to reset and de-flame to really notice the change the diet/restriction is having. 

Chriscrispychips, are you already carnivore? I'm going carnivore to Lion, basically giving up cheese and any condiments, no onions that I sometimes have, no eggs, and i think they might be a problem.  

Windy 🤣 ya close enough but I want another lol 

I log in the weight of the protein prior to cooking. 

You can weigh meat raw or cooked. If you weigh it cooked,➗ by .75 for accurate macros. Ex. 3oz ➗.75 🟰4oz. You log 4oz nutrition wise. Using the Lion WOE as an elimination diet is great! Keep us posted. 

I weigh / log my ground beef before cooking. I portion out 4oz (or 3.5oz) meat balls from an entire raw package- and then just cook them as I go- always knowing the portion to log depending on how many patties I cook. 

STORMGIRL, Poppi, Cici thanks! I didn't know there would be math 🤣 i get it! I was just surprised It went from 6 to a little over 3 oz.  

Yum! I worked with dietitians and they say you go by raw weight.  

Morticia, most dieticians are complete idiots. No offense.  

Storms, thanks for the handy equation.. Good tips, everyone~ 

Good morning jenjabba! I log the cooked weight of what I am eating.  

I think in measuring meat 4 oz raw would be 3 oz cooked but how it is measured on fatsecret who knows because anyone can put in what they want or even change it. So nothing is really precise on here. 

cooked weight  

The thing is .... if you eat the grease that comes out of the beef, then I would say take the raw amount. I don't know... I don't even weigh my meats anymore... I just see what the whole package is ... then "eyeball" what I cut off for my meal. As Popsgirl says .... no need to be so precise. 

I agree!! 

All meats are weighed after cooking. 

Looks yummy!
