Raw versus Cooked
i have a question about weighing food that has already been cooked. i know now that if fish (i dont eat any meat) has already been cooked you have to weigh it 20% less than the raw weight. I was just wondering now. If vegetables have already been cooked how much less do i weigh them. Does anyone know. I will ask my consultant next monday if not.... hope you are all having a great day. its another lovely day here in the eastern bay of plenty....

Hi Ren I'm new to ss and just found your post, I'd be interested to hear what your consultant said about the vegetable weight. Cheers Mez

From what I have experienced from cooking vegies they become about 20% heavier on cooking, I only know this because I cook exactly the same amount of vegies for hubby but wanted to seperate them after cooking and make sure I didnt get too much, might be a little more than 20% even.
