Question for bandsters who can still eat lettuce. if you put a protein on a salad or bed oflettuce, how much lettuce can you eat? I had a few ounces of chicken on about 3/4 c lettuce for dinner. Holy smokes I am so stuffed! Not to mention I haven't had lettuce in about three months and mystomach is making crazy noises trying to digest it!

I usually do a handful- I would guess it's about 1 cup. I usually also do 3-4 ounces of meat.

Try taco salad ..... I'm not talking about the kind you get at taco bell. no deep fried tortilla and no iceburg..... make it at home and if you have a family that will eat it that will be great too. Here's what I put in mine:

Leaf type lettuce

salad onions

fine chopped red/yellow/ or orange bell pepper

light red kidney Beans

ground beef seasoned with salsa

cheese

a few crunched up fritos for crunch

dressing of choice

Believe me, it is very yummy and a good way to get the Protein with the cheese, beef and beans ......

I mix up all he veggies and serve the other stuff in dishes on the side. That way you can store it and have it again for another meal .... just nuke the beans and meat the next day.

I can't have lettuce at all! It doesn't agree with me.

We had a taco salad over the weekend similar to Hummingbirds. I have a salad about 5 days a week. I prefer a mixture of spinach and various lettuce types. I can eat cucumbers, radishes, carrots, tomatoes and broccoli. I can add chicken to it like we did last night but salmon seems to be a problem.

Oddly enough I can get a salad down with croutons. Alone it's tough!

thats strange. i wonder why that is?/.....

I have to eat a salad extremely slow and make sure its chewed very well. I can only tolerate a small amount of it.

Probably because you have to pulverize the crouton and when you are eating the salad alone, you may not chew as well...
