How do you know when you're able to eat more?
I'm almost 3 months out from my RNY and my NUT wants me to be able to eat about 3 oz. of meat and 1/2 cup of veggies at my meals.
I don't experience hunger and I have unfortunately over eaten a few times trying to force myself to meet my protein goal.
I can usually only get in 1-2 oz. of meat (shredded chicken and those salmon packets seem to go down easiest and I can get more of those foods in) at a time and I usually don't even have room for veggies.
I get in about 60g of protein (20g from protein water, sometimes I need more from my water though on days where I'm sick or I just can't eat a lot).
But I know I need to eat more because my calories are low. I barely crack 400 calories most days.
