Anyway, if you add another .5 of cooked beef to make up the difference you'll end up with more calories than when you started with the raw.
I hope I explained that well enough.

in canada meat is usually weighed in grams and kilograms. otherwise, i think what you said pretty much makes sense. if i were to weigh raw meat and then weigh it after i cooked it, it would weigh less then, because it lost water?
