Confused! Protein serving sizes at Dinner
I've been reading a lot of the old posts for Newbie info, recipes, motivation etc and I noticed the amount of allowable protein you can have for dinner varies from 5oz to 8oz. My coach gave me a handout that says to have 8oz at dinner.
I'm a bit confused.:?: |
The new guidelines that came out this year say 8 oz... some of the threads are old. 5 oz was the old guideline..
Just follow your sheet and you'll be fine :) |
Aha!!! Thanks!
|
Make sure you measure raw!
|
really! I did not know that, I have been measuring cooked.. thanks..

Veggies are measured raw |
Just want to add:
Meat is measured raw, by weight, on a food scale. Vegetables are measured raw, by volume, in a measuring cup. |
Thanks, I ave been measuring veggies raw in a measuring cup but my meat cooked on a food scale..

The original diet was written in French. The English translation was written as "pre-cooked" (which can mean cook before or measure before cooking) The intention has always been weigh/measure BEFORE cooking. RAW for both. If you're happy with your losses, keep status quo. If they slow, weigh/measure raw. |

I was simply stating that coaches don't tell us (or know) everything! It is important for us to all stick together. |

It's a good thing we all have each other for both knowledge and support. I often think of those IPers who do not know about this forum and wonder how much MORE successful they could be if they knew what we know! Keep posting so we keep learning! |
