How Food Weight Changes When Cooked

Meats shrink as they lose water and fat; grains and beans swell as they absorb it. This chart shows what 100 g of raw food becomes cooked.

FoodChange100 g raw becomes
Chicken breast-25%75 g
Beef steak-25%75 g
Ground beef-30%70 g
Bacon-65%35 g
White rice+200%300 g
Pasta+140%240 g
Dried beans+150%250 g

Nutrition databases usually list raw values. Weigh raw when you can, or convert back before logging calories.

Raw vs Cooked Weight: Why It Matters for Nutrition

200g of raw chicken breast becomes about 150g cooked. If you log 200g "cooked chicken breast" in a calorie tracker, you are actually logging the equivalent of ~267g raw. A 33% error in calories and protein. This converter eliminates that mistake, which is one of the most common calorie tracking errors.
