      You do know that is pree cooked weight right? The cooking process evaporates water and renders fat. This makes cooked weight less than advertised weight.

              Wow did you not read the “Serving size is approximate” part??? That means that it doesn’t have to be exactly 4oz every time which was your original complaint.

                He’s right though. Approximations are still derived from averages and data, they can’t just be routinely completely wrong.

                If I have 10,000 steaks that were 15oz before cooking, and generally weigh 11oz after cooking, with maybe 100 outliers that are still 14oz, then I can’t say they weigh “approximately 14oz”, just as I can’t say they weigh “approximately 8 tons”.

                Similarly, cereal is often “sold by weight, not volume” to ensure consumers aren’t suing about cereal boxes that are half full. There’s actually a logical explanation behind the missing quantity.

                  Wait are you downvoting and complaining about this

                  Why can’t you people ever admit when you’re wrong? Lol.

                  When you straight up did that in you last post, completely ignoring that you were wrong.

                  Dude if you are this upset about Chipotle you need to get out more.

                  Oh and by the way I guarantee that it is oz volume not oz weight. I worked in kitchens when I was younger. They have a 4oz volume scope and just scoop some in the meal. If you are trying to get a 4oz weight it will never be close.

                  Maybe just hang that keyboard up for the day and take a walk
