Indeed, exactly as Karen said.
I was rummaging around in my latest copy of MasterCook and found a more technical (and longwinded) explanation that says about the same thing whilst poking about in the help screens.
Both Fitday and MasterCook provide this feature...probably a few of the others as well, such as RecipeCalc, at a guess.
Quote:
R-T-C {Ready To Cook} For example, ground beef contains mostly protein and fat. After cooking, much of the liquid (containing water, fat, and trace nutrients) is drained and discarded. An R-T-C ingredient subtracts this loss of weight and nutrients. When using R-T-C ingredients, you would enter the raw weight, but nutrient values reflect the cooked weight.
For example, a hamburger casserole may call for “cooked, drained hamburger”— which will have far fewer calories than raw hamburger—to be combined with other ingredients. Raw hamburger would add extra fat calories since the fat hasn’t been drained.
