Depends. I'm on 4 packets, 8oz of meat and a couple of egg whites in the morning. Egg whites are new in the past couple of weeks. Its not based on male/female but overall weight of the person as far as how many packets to have.

My coach as well as the overseeing doctor said to weigh the meat AFTER cooking. They didn't say anything about the veggies so I have been weighing them after cooking as well. It doesn't seem to be clear cut and it looks as if people are having successful losses in both camps...which is awesome!!!
