Weighing your food raw is most accurate because when you cook any food it either absorbs water or water evaporates.
- 
For example, 100 grams of uncooked chicken will weigh less than 100 grams once it’s cooked. The weight change will depend on the cooking method and time. For example, chicken that is cooked to perfection will weigh more than overcooked chicken, because it is still holding some moisture. Other examples of foods that will change weights/volume when cooked are rice, oats and so many more.

As you already know protein is essential to build muscle mass. Depending on your goals you require different amounts of protein.⁣
- ↘️ When your goal is to lose fat  eat around 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight / 2.2g of protein per kg bodyweight to insure that you maintain as much muscle mass as possible while in a calorie deficit.
⁣
↗️ When your goal is to gain muscle eat 1 - 1.2g of protein per lb of bodyweight / 2.2 - 2.6g per kg bodyweight to support optimal muscle growth.⁣ Note these amounts are for individuals who perform resistance training workouts at least twice per week, these are not RDA's for the average person.
⁣
☑️ Orientate on the lower range, if your bodyfat level is relatively high and on the upper range if your bodyfat level is low.⁣
⁣
🌱 For vegans it‘s important to have a huge variety of protein sources throughout the day, thus you ensure that you get all essential amino acids.⁣
