No problem. A nutritionist's rule of thumb is
1. All protein portion sizes are cooked--because that's what goes in your stomach.
2. To derive raw weight equivalent from cooked protein serving size, add two ounces raw for every four ounces cooked desired.
3. Two cups of raw vegetables equal 1 cup cooked.
Now in CAD
It's true, it's not clear. Some recipes show 4 oz. cooked or that 1 lb of raw meat serves 3-4 people. Other places 1/2 lb. raw serves two. Cold cuts are given in 4 oz. per serving sizes and they are cooked.
In CALP the recipes are a little clearer and most are using 4 ounces of cooked weight per serving
Also in CALP the Hellers state that if you don't like raw vegetables, you can substitute 1 cup cooked for the raw.
Also of note. One of the recent heath findings is that generally women don't eat enough protein to maintain healthy muscle mass and repair tissue. IMHO most women should eat at least 12-16 ounces, cooked, protein a day.
Hope this helped.
Jaden is also right. Do relax a bit. You should never be hungry on CAD. If you are, you are eating something you shouldn't be or you aren't eating enough.
