Hi Magneto,
Great question. In my opinion, cooked. Though there are other important
issues here.
1. That is, how did you decide on 4 g of protein per meal?
2. How many meals are you eating each day?
3. What is the outcome you desire exactly, i.e., How many pounds, how fast?
4. What are your fears and frustrations re: fat loss?
I can help you, when you answer these questions,
Thanks,
PG

Ok Magneto,
Thanks for answering the questions, I've got a much better idea of your situation.
1. Think 1.2 or 1.3 grams of protein per kilo of body weight. 24 grams per day is too few.
2. 1600 to 1800 is about right. You nailed it. 6 meals is great!
3. 25 pound of "fat" loss @ .5 pounds per week is realistic and safe. Do it in about 1 year.
4. I've been a personal trainer for 20 years and have helped people like you lose 25 and more, properly.
--By lifting weights you will speed up your weight loss to about a pound per week and take only half the time. Do a full body routine every other day.
P.S. Let me know how much you weigh now. Also, let me know the details of your cardio. Walking, Jogging, biking, etc. How many minutes, how fast.
P.P.S. This is all general info, if you have more questions, feel free to ask me.

Hi Magneto
It would be better if you measure the content after you cook. Protein content will be more when it is raw. Try to take some raw food.
I found an interesting post by nutritional guru John Berardi. He brought up a graet point that said if you boil your chicken (for example), it absorbs a lot of water, so when you weight it, you'll actually be getting LESS than you think because most of the chicken is water.
However, if you microwave it, it gets smaller and more dehydrated, so when you weigh it, you're actually getting more calories than you think.
And yes, that's calculated after cooking, and not before, unless the info is for the raw portion. Any decent tracking program/label will usually say, if it isn't obvious.
But, here's the thing: 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight x6 meals does not equal 4g/meal. Unless you weigh 24 lbs. Which I'm pretty sure is a medical impossibility. Unless you are in fact a Keebler Elf.
So, check your math. It's more likely to be around 150 or so grams, meaning 25g per meal. Maybe you meant to write 24?
