Question

Got a ?  I forgot to ask my coach!Got a ? I forgot to ask my coach! What is the “conversion “ weight if you will for veggies raw vs cooked? Like protein is 8 oz raw but 6 oz cooked (I think) not sure about veggies? Sometimes I make things harder than it should be

You gotta weigh veggies before you cook.

I get that but. if I’m cooking the same veggies for everyone do I cook my separate to make sure I’m not over or under my amount? See my my confusion  I thought I could cook everything & then measure ‍♀️

@english I used to cook mine separate from my husbands. He wasnt doing the program so I cooked all my meals separate to stay on protocol.  

Answer 2

Just measure them raw. Easier

Answer 3

You must weigh before you cook.  

Answer 4

As mentioned above, weigh raw following the chart. After awhile, you will be able to make a good guess as to portion size when eating out or at another's home.  

Answer 5

May you could measure 2 cups raw. Cook. Then weigh to see what they convert to?  

Answer 6

If you are weighing raw, then cook. do you input food in journal as raw or cooked?  

Answer 7

I just reread an email from IP Corporate regarding my question on weighing vs. measuring. Their answer was that veggies are supposed to be measured.

@masseur tricky parts would be 2 cups cauliflower florettes vs riced. Weight would be weigh more (see what I did there? ) accurate.  

Answer 8

In all honesty I don't know how accurate this is, but I use it

Answer 9

**it is not accurate as far as protocol changes though (as in what is unlimited, select, and occasional)

Answer 10

Family of 4. I just make 4 servings all my size. So 8 cups of veggies. Separate into servings after cooking. Sometimes the kids will split a serving, then I know I will have an extra leftover-already measured.
