I have always known that you weigh the protein cooked and the carbohydrates uncooked.But watching some pro bodybuilding dvds i saw that they always weigh the protein uncooked and the carbos cooked.What is the right way to do it?

what happens is that the meat loses a lot of weight while cooked.so that is why i am asking.because if it is to eat 200grams of chicken and you calculate the protein by 200grams after cooking you dont eat 200gr so you really dont eat what you calculated.but with the carbo the thing is that the number that you cook becomes 1,5 times more.so you really dont eat that much carbo.so again the calculation is not accurate.
