How much dense protein can you eat at 10 months out or farther?

Hey all,

I am 10 months out, almost 11. I really struggle with dense protein like steak, chicken, pork chops etc.. However, today for the first time without getting sick or just not liking it, I was able to eat 4oz of a DELICIOUS rib-eye steak quite well. I felt very comfortable at 4 oz.

I know we are all different, but tell me your capacity.

Thanks!

I am pretty sure I can eat twice that amount of steak. I eat a lot of meat without any problems. I was so used to a small pouch for so many years that I really can't say I feel much restriction at all as I can usually eat a very reasonable amount and I can't say I ever felt stuffed yet! I am glad tho. It hasn't seemed to slow me down! If I have sweets a few times during the week tho that slows me down!

Well, I'm almost 8 years out, and I can easily eat an 8-ounce steak, with a small salad, a few bites of baked potato, a yeast roll, and a couple glasses of tea. And if I really want it, dessert, too. (*grin*)

1-2 oz max of about any dense protein except for shrimp. I can only eat about 50 grams of protein a day. Thank goodness I love my protein shakes!

Glad you enjoyed your steak.

I'll be 10 months out in a few days. I can eat around 4 oz of a ribeye and a bit more if it's a fillet, around 6oz of chicken, but only 3 oz of a grilled or baked pork chop. Pulled pork I can eat a bit more.
