Cook shrink
The visitor types a raw weight and picks a meat. The tool applies a USDA yield factor and shows the cooked weight and the energy in that cooked piece. It is a weight change, not a cooking lesson.
Enter the inputs. The page computes a result that did not exist as a static article.
This is a general-purpose tool, not medical, legal or financial advice. Figures are estimates from published food data or arithmetic. A qualified professional owns decisions that affect your health.
How to use it
Inputs are raw grams and a food. Computation multiplies by a named yield and by database energy. Outputs are cooked grams and energy.
Result
The tool runs in your browser. Nothing from the camera, microphone or sensors is uploaded. With JavaScript off, the worked example below is still computed on the server.
A worked example
400 g raw chicken at a USDA-style yield of 0.75 cooks to 300 g. Energy in that cooked piece, using the chicken-breast row, is 495 kcal.
| Item | Grams | Energy (kcal) | Protein (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken, USDA yield 0.75 | 400 → 300 | 495 | 93 |

The cooked food's own calorie page is where the rest of the nutrients live.
Keep the result in an account
TempoLife keeps food, movement and sleep in one private place, so this result can become part of a day instead of a one-off page.

Frequently asked questions
Where is my data stored?
In this browser (localStorage and the link you copy). Camera, microphone and motion frames never leave the device. TempoLife does not receive the plate you built unless you continue into an account and log it there.
Where do the numbers come from?

Where does this tool stop?
rawcooked explains raw versus cooked. cookshrink applies a yield factor to a weight the visitor types.
