8 weeks out, should I be able to eat 3 oz protein at a meal?

Everywhere I read says to eat 3oz of Protein at each meal, I can't! Is that normal?

I am 7 weeks out. I can do 3oz of cottage cheese or yogurt, but only 1.5oz of dense protein (chicken, beef, etc)

I'm 11 months out and can only eat 2.5oz of protein at a time... 3.5 after a work out

The ONLY things I can eat that much of is yogurt.

I am 10 months out and cannot eat 3 oz. of dense Protein. It is absolutely normal. I can however eat 6 oz.of yogurt or 4 oz. of cottage cheese.

I can eat a cup or more of salad.

It all depends on what you are eating.

Don't worry, the longer out you are, the more protein you will tolerate. I still have to drink one Protein shake every day to get to my goal. This is because my nut wants to ensure I eat a high protein low carb diet that includes fruits and vegetables. 2 bites of protein for every one bite of good carbs.

That's my plan and it is working for me.

Good luck! You are doing great already.
