What weighs more?? 3 pounds or raw beef or 3 pounds of cooked beef?

It always seems like my beef and chicken loses a lot of it's weight during the cooking process.

1. 3 pounds of beef, cooked, will weigh less than 3 pounds of raw beef.

5. Let's not let things get too heavy, okay?

4. Most of the weight is water, so you can lose some weight, depending on how you cook it

But if you're cooking it in water, you won't lose weight for that reason

7. Depends - if you are using the 3lbs of raw beef it will weigh less than 3lbs in the end

but if you compared the 2 side-by-side they would be the same.
