Whatchya Got For Me Today?

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor (yet). I am not a nutritionist (yet), I am not a personal trainer (yet). I am not a psychologist (yet). I am not a chef (but a pretty damn good cook). I have however read, watched, researched, and experimented extensively over the past several years, so whatever advice I dispense, take it for what it is worth.

When we weigh our protein should it be done before or after cooking? Example:
I had salmon yesterday the box said it was a 5 oz. fillet, yet after cooking it only weighed 3.5 oz.

After. It's to know how much you consume so unless it is sushi, cooked. 

I can answer this one. If you are eating it raw go by the box measurement. If you are cooking it,measure it after and use that measurement. Some packaging will have raw and cooked stats on them. GL
