Most calorie tables list calories for foods raw and cooked - just use the right value.
I personally know when I cook 5 oz. turkey it becomes 3.5…but I bet if someone else cooked it it might come out different (depends on how dry it gets). So if you really want to be super precise probably going with the raw numbers is better, but again it makes very little difference…the values for cooked foods are pretty close too.[/quote]
The values for cooked usually allow for the loss of fat, when it occurs, or the increase of fatcuased by, say deep frying.
