Calories in 100g

[Ottercave]

Ok so I’ve managed to lose 4 stone and maintain the weight loss through calorie counting and exercise but there’s still something that confuses me.
When the nutritional values on food say 100g when cooked do they mean 100g as the start weight or 100g after the food has been cooked?
Hopefully somebody can help me and knows the answer to this.

They mean 100g of the cooked weights

100g of the raw weight would be the same Cala weather cooked or not, so they wouldn't bother using the word 'cooked'

If it says 100g cooked weight, then that's the weight when cooked. For ready meals, etc, cooked weight shouldn't be too much different from uncooked weight.

Things like pasta and rice weigh more when cooked, as they absorb water.

If you are unsure, you can always Google the uncooked calorie value and then you know how much is in the food when cooked (provided you don't add extra oil, etc)
