Hi Guys and Girls!!

Happy New Years!

So I have a quick question. I am 10 months out. I have lost at total of 85 pounds. I was wondering how many ounces of food should I be able to take in or should take in at this point in my journey?

Well, I'm not as far along as you are, but I use my restriction as my guide. When I'm done I'm done. Were you given any guidelines? I ask because at my first NUT appointment she told me I will basically be eating a half up. I can't eat that much as yet. When I get the full signs, I stop, or I will pay!

Not meaning to split hairs, but there is how much you CAN versus how much you SHOULD be taking in.

Sliders, I am quite sure I am a bottomless pit. If I were to dig into a bag of cheetos, no saying when I would be "full" - ha - possibily never so I don't.

If you are starting with dense Protein and following with veggies, I recall you should be in the 3/4 to 1 cup range of volume at a time at a year out. If you get "full"signals before then - STOP. Eating small helps keep that feeling of restriction.

I've always been told that you should never go beyond 3/4-1 cup of food at a sitting.

I eat everything on a small tea cup size saucer. I think it is 4 ounces or something close to it. I believe I can take in a little more but I don't. If it doesn't fit on the saucer, I don't eat it. This has been a good measuring tool for me.
