Summary

Weigh your meat raw, and then weigh that same amount cooked so you know exactly how much it is being dehydrated during the cooking process. A big mistake I see people make all the time when calculating their macros is they weigh their meat cooked without factoring in the uncooked weight.…

Just a heads up guys in terms of measuring macronutrients, a big mistake I see people make all the time is they measure their meat cooked

0:09.0

cooked without factoring an uncooked weight.

0:12.0

So when you measure, for example, chicken, beef, whatever, this is ground bison.

0:18.0

This is a pound of ground bison and like literally pre-measured pre-cooked. It's one pound exactly. Now I'm going to show you guys what this equates to on a level out scale. So pound and an ounce this. And I'll show you what it actually weighs once I put it in here after it's been cooked and

0:39.5

You know some of the moisture sucked out of it and it's fully ready to go to eat

0:45.3

Okay, so I just added and you can see it's only

0:47.7

10.3 ounces so to get a pound you would have 16 ounces

0:53.3

So that's this is a pound of ground bison, 9010 lean ground bison and it's only 10.3 ounces cooked.

1:03.0

So if you're cooking your meat and then you're putting it on a scale and you're trying to measure it,

1:07.0

1:13.2

example, on the back of the thing, it says serving size four ounces servings per container four.

1:23.7

So this is based on a, if this one pound pound if you're eating this whole thing that would be

1:29.3

190 times four that's how many calories would be this literal package of one pound but when it's

1:37.0

cooked it gets dehydrated down to the 10.4 10.5 10.6 ounces that you see here. So if you're, I'm assuming, you know, most of you

1:47.9

guys probably are cooking more than one day's worth at a time, just like I usually do. So if you

1:54.7

throw in like four pounds into your pan and then you cook it and, you know, some people don't get it pre-packaged in one-pound

2:02.8

things they just have a big like a log of um you know lean ground beef or something they'll throw it in

2:08.3

they'll cook it all up and then they'll put in a container and they'll measure it out after when they're

2:13.1

trying to you know each each day when they're doing their meals and they'll measure you know if they

2:18.0

want a half pound they'll put in eight ounces on the thing but in reality it's only 5.3
