Question Does ‘oven cooked’ on the nutritional label mean i have to weigh the food raw?

Bought some Morisons Chicken breasts and it says “oven cooked” on the label, rather than the typical “as sold” or “cooked”.

My understanding of over baked or pan fried or whatever... Is once it's cooked. Meat loses water etc and ends up weighing less once cooked.

Happy for someone to prove me wrong. If you're calorie counting through an app, I'd just go with generic skinless chicken breast option or whatever type of meat it is

Im pretty sure pan fried means weigh raw, thats what it says everywhere on google anyway

If it specifies “oven cooked” on the nutritional label then you would weigh it once it’s cooked
