I'm beginning the IP diet this week, and the one thing I completely forgot to ask is whether the 5 oz of dinner protein means: 5 oz raw or 5 oz cooked.
Thanks! I'm excited to get started and will be reporting in my losses soon.

I am wanting to lose between 15-20 lbs total.
There has been quite a discussion about this.....you might want to clarify with your coach, but I think the concensus is 5 oz cooked weight for meat, and 7 oz cooked weight for seafood. Works for me!

Weighing raw meat just does not make sense. So much fat and water is cooked out that you would be down to 3 oz. of protein if you're using meat.
My sheet actually specifies that VEGETABLES are to be measured raw, but the fact that it doesn't say so for meat logically follows that it is to be measured cooked.
My coach says 6 oz raw and 8oz fish raw and 8oz shellfish cooked and deshelled.
Ok I dont know about shellfish since I dont eat seafood except for a serving of 6 scallops which is ok, but for fish(7oz), meat (5oz)and veggies 2 cups, and it has to be raw prior to be weight, at least in my clinic is like that.

My clinic says cooked I asked again yesterday. The reason being, as stated by amylew, that raw weight 5oz would become VERY little cooked!! eeekkkk Would not be enough for me
Im pretty sure each coach is a little different but ive been using the 5oz cooked. i find it makes it a lot easier since a lot of meat is packaged in 5oz to begin with.
