I am not sure if I am even askign this correctly but here it goes.

I am currently on the purple plan. My counselor said when I change plans the amount of protein that I eat will go down-that makes sense. However the thing that she said that confused me will be that I would still have 2 protein but instead of 8oz of raw chicken breast it would go down to 6oz.

My confusion is on recipes that state the LA exchange would 8oz of raw chicken breast be the 1 protein for everyone on la weight loss.

Am I am making sense?

Well your counselor is correct about the portion sizes. In the recipes-you should use the appropriate portion for your plan. In the cookbook-it usually says 6 or 8 oz to cover everyone. If you're looking at our recipes-it would probably depend on who posted them. If they are on red or purple-they probably posted it as 8 oz. You see what I mean. You just need to adjust appropriately. And not worry about it too much since your not on gold yet anyway

Yes, that makes sense to me but I'm only starting...just reading through my material and starting on plan next Monday...I am also on purple plan. Don't worry about asking questions as I have and I figure it is the only way to find out the correct answers...whether it is 6oz or 8 oz it still would be equal to one protein.
