how much protein can you eat per meal?

[Katie Loesch-Meyer 71]

I had sleeve surgery in June of last year, so 9 months out. I typically eat 2 oz of meat per meal, but I'm thinking it may be time to try to up that a bit? I see other people eating more like 4 oz, which seems like a ton. but I do snack more than I probably should, and maybe if I ate more Protein per meal I would stay full longer.

I also had surgery in June. I eat 2-3 oz of Protein per meal. Sometimes as a portion of chicken breast, pork loin, etc. Sometimes an ounce of meat plus an ounce of cheese.< /p>

I am 33 months post-op RNY. I like to eat home made high Protein chili. I consume about a cup per meal which equates to 23 grams (around 3 ounces). The recipe is here. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

June person here, too. I still eat about 2 oz of dense Protein at a meal, but I also eat vegetables at every meal (except Breakfast - when I usually eat Greek yogurt with a few berries). If it weren't for the vegetables, I could probably eat more Protein - but I *love* vegetables - even more than the protein.

What is the problem you are trying to solve? Reduce hunger, lose more weight? My program advises 5 mini meals per day...I settled on 4 during weight loss phase. The reason they call them mini meals is to make the point that they are all Protein, veggies and only if room, something else. If you switched to an approach like that you don't need big volume to get in alot of protein and hunger is minimized due to eating every day 3 hours and a high protein diet. 4 years out, my sleeve has a generous capacity but I maintain successfully by following this approach.

Both reduce hunger and lose more weight. Maybe I should try this. I'll let you know how it goes.
