I'm P2VCLD 13 and the past few days I've almost had to force feed - don't get me wrong, better than starving - but I don't think I'm eating enough, and like an idiot I cooked my chicken before I weighed it! Does anyone know how much cooked protein we should have? Thanks -
i dont know how much it should weigh after cooked...good Q tho for when u want to eat pre cooked food!! i wasnt hungry today at all!! in fact i just now ate dinner and only because i knew i HAD to.. hopefully it wont affect the scale too much 2more :(
Good point - eventually there WILL be precooked food in our lives. I just have to stand in the kitchen and force the food in and it is almost gagging me. When I started I could NOT believe I wouldn't be hungry but here we are.
Ruby, I did the 100g raw, and 3 oz after its cooked. I weighed before and after several times before I figured this out. 100g = apprx 3.5 oz. If it's done its done, you can't go back. In fact, why I wanted this was so I could make my own broth. I bot a bag of the frozen chicken breasts, dumped them in the crock pot, filled it with water and spices, cooked it at least over night, 2nd batch I did had legs, thighs and breasts with the bones and I cooked it longer, it didn't bother me, but I was towards the end of P2, dark meat is not on protocol. Took the chicken out, weighed out my 3 oz, baggied it and froze it. Let the broth cool, skimmed the fat really good, put it in a pitcher in the fridge and used it to cook with or to just have a cup of broth with my chicken salad. You know for sure it has no sugar's this way, besides it had much better flavor than the store bot. I don't know what Colleen and Linda would say about this, they are the pro's, but I checked it several times before I did this on the weight.
If you are having a problem eating, check with Linda and Colleen, but reading through this stuff, your dose may be wrong.
If you aren't calorie counting, I found it easier to calorie count everything I ate so if I went over, or was under to much I knew it, and maybe could adjust my evening meal for it. Calorie King has one, I use Spark People.
