Biggest pro tip I have is to weigh food after it's cooked.
>Tfw watched some news article on how some supermarkets in my country pump their meat up with water >Oh fuck >Start weighing after cooking instead of raw weight >Sometimes up to 200g difference
Bacon is the biggest offender. I like it crispy and a little overdone, and by that point almost all the grease and fat has been cooked off.
But holy fuck user, how delicious is pan frying? I always thought cooking was some sort of arcane witchcraft, but it's so easy.
Also, have you weighed yourself post-experiement? Has weight loss continued at a steady rate?

Blew more air out of my nose than usual Thanks for this man

>Biggest pro tip I have is to weigh food after it's cooked. did not consider that the nutrition label could technically be lying (for example saying 100g of raw beef has so many macros & calories, when in reality these numbers are diluted because the beef has a higher % water weight than the nutrition label assumes)
isn't the above illegal / false advertising?
pan frying is tasty, and very convenient. cooking comes naturally to me as ive worked in kitchens before, cooking is a weapon that women can no longer wield over me because i am very self-sufficient
>Also, have you weighed yourself post-experiement? Has weight loss continued at a steady rate?
i only fixed this mistake a couple days ago, so no data so far. but it would be hard to detect since its only a difference of 8g of fat so 72 calories.. quite minimal (although i am aiming for 1500 cals / day and 41g fat, so its still a substantial loss relative to my reduced budgets)

remember to count all significant figures, understand the limitations of your measuring devices, and consider all possible sources of error

actually liking this thread.
also is there a way you can calculate nutritional values yourself? like some backyard science experiments to calculate real world values rather than >(((averages))) on the back of the box

>isn't the above illegal / false advertising? Well they say that # per 100g of beef is this amount of nutrition and then say the weight of the product (including packaging) weighs this much
So no, not really false advertising persay, just falling to tell you that only 700g of your 1000kg beef package is beef and not packaging/ water

fuck me, meant 1000g but was thinking of kilograms

>also is there a way you can calculate nutritional values yourself? like some backyard science experiments to calculate real world values yes, you basically just dry out the food in the oven at a low temp, maybe 200 F (dry it completely so it will burn), then burn the food in a little aluminum foil setup so that it heats a glass of water - measure the water temp before and after the burning, take the change in temp and the volume of water heated, and you can calculate calories from that
this vid is okay but she clearly didnt insulate the burning food much so a lot of energy went to the air, which would make the answer inaccurate (lower calories actually than it should be)

what about working out protein, fat, carbs, iron, calcium etc?
