How much are you eating per feeding?
Hi! I've been wondering how I am doing in the volume department. So, I thought I'd come here and ask!
How many times a day do you eat, and,
How much do you eat per feeding volume wise?
I eat about 6 times a day. I try to stick to 6 ounces unless it is a very soft food, then I let myself have a cup. I usually stop before over full, but sometimes I do eat too much. I was having a problem with loosing weight too fast, so I had to add calories. I am beyond my surgeons goal and my doc only want me to lose a maximum of 3 more pounds. I would like to lose another 8 and get to that magic 130 number, but now that I added calories and volume, my weight loss has slowed waaay down. It has taken 2 months to lose 6 pounds! My nutritionist told me to expect to be eating 6 to 8 ounces by now, but sometimes I feel like I am eating WAAAY too much, yanno? I make myself a rollup sandwich with 1 8 inch flour tortilla, 4-6 slices of deli turkey, some lettuce, 2-3 tablespoons of cheese, a smear of Miracle whip, some tomato, and some bacon and I can eat the whole thing if I eat it over the course of 20-30 mins. If I eat it faster than that, then I get a little uncomfortable. So, should I eat faster or slower? Fast so I know I need to stop before I feel full and stop, or slower to get in the protein and calories I need? LOL My nutritionist says a meal should last about 30 mins, but 20 is good too. I guess I just want to hear your experiences!!!
TIA!
