How to record chicken in My Fitness Pal - raw weight?

[Tiggsy]

My raw chicken packet says 200g (say) and I can barcode that for entry to the app....but after cooking it the weight is prob half that......so am I really eating 200g of chicken???

[Tiggsy]

ok - but if chicken has Xg protein per 100g and my raw product is 100g and my cooked product 50g......taking the packet weight will be ok?

so to be clear - if chicken has 20g of protein per 100g.....and i start with 100g of raw product and end with 60g of cooked product - i'm NOT eating 20g of protein? right?

so how does that work for pasta/rice? which is heavier after cooking??? DO i weigh my rice dry or cooked?
