I am way way too hungry to stop and weigh each item in my meal AFTER it is cooked and prepared. I weigh each ingredient, raw, before I add it to recipe, bowl, or saucepan, and that is what I use in my food diary. And I add separately to FS, any oils, etc. that I use to cook anything.

I always choose uncooked raw for vegetables & fruit, as almost all the cooked choices in FS assume you are adding salt to the water, if boiled, or salt, butter, oil, &/or cream, if otherwise cooked. Great example is potatoes:
I always use "Potato (flesh and skin)" where 1 raw medium potato (2-1/4" to 3-1/4") equals 213g of raw potato. (I always eat the skin as it is high in fibre)

Here is a screenshot of a bunch of entries for 1 medium potato to see the wide variety of calculations. Note the sodium content.

As long as you are consistent, in food diary entries, it really does not matter much. I avoid all added salt, so, sodium value it is very important to me.

Re #Grammalaura question about weighing steak before or after cooking.

The FS members who are big meat eaters likely pay more attention to this than I do.

Cooked Meat is too complicated for me. To keep it as simple and easy as possible I go by the nutrition label on the raw meat package from the grocery store, and add the food item to FS with the recommended serving size, if not there already. I buy boneless skinless chicken breasts, lean ground beef, & seafood or fish fillets, but rarely pork or steak. I measure by weight in grams before I cook it, and I always portion it out to the suggested serving size before I freeze what I bought. If I have overestimated in calories because of cooking loss of water weight, oh well, I don't each much meat anyway, rarely more than 50-100g (1.75-3.5oz), so it does not really matter to me.
