Yes this right hereI agree. If it's something you eat regularly, just be consistent in how you're calculating/measuring. It's a ballpark.
Raw or cooked….consistency is what’s important
I weigh cooked They have values for the amount of protein in each (raw or cooked) )but remember this is simply a guess. People always act like the nutrition labels are exact THEY ARE FAR FROM EXACT. There is a 20% allowable margin of error. So potentially there could be has high as a 40% difference.
Lean beef is eyeballed. It’s not put in a lab to figure if it’s 93%. Butcher just eyeballs it.
Chicken is an estimate or average. They aren’t figuring the protein of each chicken breast. And not all chickens are the same. Just like not all people are the same. Some chickens are fat, some have more muscle. The macros absolutely do not account for these factors.
So figuring the 4 grams of protein in your rice is dumb your way off anyway lol
Cooked or uncooked is inaccurate either way
It’s the consistency that matters
Just weigh it how you like (cooked or raw) and weigh it the same way every time. And get your macros met
The consistency will help you figure your maintenance and then your surplus or deficit
