Question:
How much are you eating at 3 1/2 months out (15 weeks)?

Sometimes I feel like I can eat way more than I should. Just curious to see what everyone is eating. Some days I can eat more than others. I've never gotten sick or had in pain, just trying to be safe, that's all.    — Heather W. (posted on January 27, 2004)

I could eat about 1/2 cup at a time around 3 1/2 months... Now I eat actually less than that... But it also depends on what I am eatting.....

At 3 months I was eating about half a cup at a time, sometimes less depending on what it was. I am now almost 5 months and eat between 1/2 and 2/3 cup at a time.

Well I had the same question, but hadn't had a chance to post it yet, so first Thanks for posting this question. Also thanks to the responders. I have been on a plateau for about 3 weeks now and based on the answers, I must be way over eating! I don't really measure my food all the time, but I know I can eat a full cup. Just this evening I ate about 4-5 oz of chicken with about a 1/2 cup of rice and some sauce (leftovers from a chinese restaurant). It covered a regular sized dinner plate, not piled just covered, but that has to be equal to 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food, if not more! I was very full afterwards but not over stuffed. Now I will admit due to refrigerator problems at work I did not get my normal afternoon protein drink snack, so I was hungarier than usual and ate more but I still think I eat about a cup usually. Obviuosly I really need to cut back. Tricia 10/23/03 296/242/150

I had my surgery 10/06/03 sometimes I less than 1/2 cup and sometimes I am able to eat a little more. It depends on the type of food it is.
