    Hi Sharon. Thanks for your previous answers. My husband just asked this question and it hadn’t occurred to me. When a food item says, for instance: “1 cup rice (cooked)”, does that mean I take 1 cup of raw rice, then cook it, or do I cook a batch of rice and then eat 1 cup of it? Thanks

    Hi, AuntiPirate. No, that means after cooking. Just a note: in these menus, grain products are post-cooking, and meat/fish/poultry, produce, and dairy are raw.

    I am so glad that I read this post! I have weighting my food all wrong! I have been weighting after I cook it. How do you measure frozen foods then?

    Hi, Connie. Weigh frozen foods after they have thawed, and then get used to what the amount looks like, so that you don’t have to weigh them every time you prepare meals.

    Hi Sharon so meat is to be weighed before i cook it? Does that mean veggies are weighted before I cook them too?

    Hi, TScott. Yes – but our not-so-secret secret is that if you use lean meat, it doesn’t really matter.
