I weigh the meat after it is cooked.

I usually weigh before cooking and look up the calories for the raw ingredient. Foods, in particular meat, lose water during cooking and it is impossible to figure out how much. Calorie content per 100 g of the cooked good depends on the amount of water in it though.
