Calculating calories for meals [Study Performance]
Hi,
In preparing a meal menu, do we consider the weight and protein-Carbohydrate-fat content as per the raw weight of the item or after it is cooked?
For e.g. if we say Rice 150 g and respectively the protein carbohydrate-fat content - does it mean the weight of raw rice or cooked rice?
Also, before serving to the subjects in a BA/BE study, we weigh the individual items in a Meal Menu and then document the average weight of each item. Can we correlate this with the weight given in Meal Menu?
Thanks and Regards,
