How do I measure a portion of protein while on the VLCD?
All protein portions are 100 grams (3.5 ounces) in weight. After selecting your protein choice, remove all visible fat and weigh your protein raw on a digital kitchen scale. Pre-portioning your protein makes for an easy, grab and go convenience while on the HCG diet.
Crab, lobster and crawfish cannot be removed from the shell, prior to cooking. To account for this, after cooking remove the meat from the shell and weigh out 3.0 ounces for the correct VLCD portion. These are the ONLY three protein choices that have these guidelines.
