It depends on what it is, but I'd say about 4-4.5 oz max. (As an example, I can 3.5 oz of salmon with 1 oz of green beans, but I can only eat 2.5 oz of hamburger steak with 1 oz of green beans. I could probably eat more than 4.5 oz of cottage cheese, but I restrict myself to a 4 oz portion because of the carbs.)

I'm kinda nervous because I'm already at 8oz. Like today, I had grilled chicken parm, I cut it up and filled up an 8oz container . I didn't weight it tho .. but I feel like I'm eating too much now . It does depend on the food but I don't go over 8 oz even though sometimes I feel hungry still


5.5 oz's max. Usually 4. But if I'm super hungry or I'm on my period than I can eat a little more. Not sure why.

I don't drink liquids before or after eating and I follow the guidelines pretty strictly. Though I am human and make choices sometimes to veer off and eat something purely decadent. lol! What happens is I end up being hungry pretty quickly afterwards. I find when I stick to the protein rich diet I'm hungry 4 times a day. If I eat stuff that isn't protein heavy I will be hungry again within an hour.

I can eat about 3 oz of really dense protein like chicken or beef, or 4 oz of soft fish like salmon or cod, usually accompanied by about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of vegetables (I only weigh my protein). If I'm eating soup, I can do about a cup now, depending on how much dense protein it contains. I eat about 1/2 cup of greek yogurt, with maybe 10 blueberries, in the morning.

I'm 9 mos out yesterday.

I can eat about 2oz of chicken or fish and a couple bites of vegetables but if I drank a shake 11oz eazy yogurt 6oz very easy. I call those my sliders easy down hungry later but if I'm feeling sick it does help w getting protein in

Hi there, 6 months here. I eat about 3oz of meat and then some veggies and 1/4 -1/2 cup of rice/pasta. Sometimes no carbs and more veg, depends on how I feel. I've lost 73 now. But I would suggest weighing the food to be sure of the amount.

I can't agree more. I have a scale at work and home. It's invaluable to me. Because food can be deceptive and our eyes aren't always the best measuring cup. lol!
