Our public database of foods uses the nutritional values of the packaging label of the product. Generally, these values indicate the raw, uncooked portion of food. On rare occasions, the nutritional values may indicate the cooked portion. However, this is usually indicated on the packaging.
You may also find some items in the database with “cooked” in their name, only in those cases you should weigh that food once it’s cooked, in all other cases, we recommend weighing your food before cooking it.
Unless stated otherwise, nutritional values most often refer to the edible part of the food (e.g. with meat, the weight does not include the bones). If it’s not possible to weigh the food in this way, you can always subtract the non-edible part of the food by estimating its weight or weighing it afterward.
