Not a whole cup of course but 1/4 of one.

How far out are y'all!?

I am going to be 13 weeks on Monday. I can only eat 2 ounces of solid protein per meal. I average 600-700 calories a day. I really wish to make the most of my first 6 months.

That is heartening for me to read! I am 5+ weeks out, and eat so little! At best 2 oz of protein. And everything is hit or miss - one day I can tolerate a food, the next day it makes me nauseous. Just feel queazy lots of the time - is this normal?

amy i am 12 weeks out

amazon i think we all want to get the best out of 6 months, everyone on here has a differant plan a differant dr and nut. if you nut said thats ok than thats ok

this is not a topic that compres to another person. this topic is to just share with each other what you are eating. maybe i misread what you wrote but you seem defensive and no need to be. if you disagree with what anyone is posting than you dont have to read this post or reply. and i am saying it in a nice way.

so today my eating is going to be really crazy, i have a baby shower and a birthday dinner today, hummmmmmmmmm well i started out with my Breakfast which is...

2 oz turkey meatloaf....somedays i can fit in 1/2 cup of food and there are days my tiny tummy says no

so yesterday i think i did pretty good. i didnt get sick i was so scared of getting sick. at the baby shower i had 3oz of jerk chicken, maybe 1/4 cup peas and rice and 4 little fiesta breads. oh and pink panties as i was drinking it i was like i better slow down because it has whip cream in it and pink lemonade but i didnt get sick though i felt my lower intestines rumbling. than off to the next party di good there also my daughter made chili with hot dogs nacho chips and fries and onion rings. she fixe me a plate of 1/4 cup of fritos and about 1/4 cup chili topped with cheese i ate it but had left overs. than an hour later i went back and had about 5 nacho chips with 1 onion ring and 2 fries with a little chili still had chili on the plate. i say i did good. oh at the baby shower i had a little piece of cake no problems there. oh and on my way to my daughters my father and i stopped at tommys and i got fries and ate 5 and gave the rest away.

boy this new way of eating is wierd

Breakfast Protein shake

lunch salmon cupcake my own recipe yummy!!

Snack one turkey meatball traded joes with sauce and a little mozzarella cheese

dinner ???

Yesterday I was so bad. I didn't even enter anything into MFP. Its getting near my TOM and I just tasted a few things too many.

So today I was not hungry at all for breakfast so I didn't have any. Instead I drank 2 cups of 1/2 caf with some 1% milk.

Lunch:

2oz pork

1t cranberry sauce

2 slices of cucumber

1/3 c spinach salad with 1/2 cherry tomato, 1T feta, 1 sugar snap pea

Now that I look at that lunch it really doesn't sound like much, but my tummy is full!!

The break room is full of fudge and chocolate and Cookies. I have gone in there and looked and smelled, but haven't reached out to try a taste of anything yet. It's weird. Previously I would have gone to the sweets table 2-3 times and eaten anything that wasn't nailed down. Now I question it.

That one sure has a lot of almonds in it.

That one probably doesn't taste as good as it looks.

Those came from the store and are full of preservatives.

How may carbs are in that?

That doesn't mean that if I decide I really want a piece I won't eat it. Heck yes I'll eat it. But probably one piece and probably not even the whole thing.
