Beef and broccoli, ate half a cup

Is half a cup the max your stomach will allow or did you just eat half a cup by choice.

My problem is that I am able to eat just about all I want of anything! It's like I never had anything done to my stomach although my surgeon swears that she removed 85% !!

It is quite possible the nerves/mechanisms that triggers the full sensation are not working correctly. Please try to eat slower and only the amount allowed. ❤

I felt like I could have definitely eaten more but I stop myself. I try really hard to stay in my calorie range.

I think you should try what @GreenTealael suggested which is eating slow. I find that when I eat slow I get full faster.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the fact is that I eat VERY slowly. Stopping after each bite, chewing incessantly. Other people are done FAR faster than me. It was a habit I learned from Weight Watchers many, many years ago and it has become my way of eating.

Fabulous dinner last night. 4 oz Smoked pork loin with half an ear of corn on the cob grilled pineapple and a tablespoon of BBQ Sauce. Frozen banana for dessert (not pictured) Leftovers will be carnitas tonight!.

I think pork loin is the best lean Protein for carnivores, costco sells the best ones, but they are huge so we cut it down and freeze smaller roasts.

That's good you have that habit already! I've always been a slow eater too and I feel you with the whole being able to eat more than you should. If you're not doing it already I would stick to dense Protein first then everything else. Protein is most filling and you will be making sure you're hitting your protein goal too. I've also noticed that hard veggies like raw cabbage, carrots, and broccoli fill me up fast too.

dinner tonight is a mix of Snacks, trying to eat up a gigantic costco tub of hummus.
Carrots, salsa, hummus, string cheese, Turkey pepperoni and tortilla chips.

Breakfast this morning was a gluten-free Breakfast sandwich from a local bakery with ham, bacon, cheddar, garlic herb cream cheese, Tomato, onion and egg. Ate half and saved other for later.

Dessert later: zucchini banana bread with Peanut Butter and chocolate chips. I eat it all over about 45 min.

I struggled with keeping pork tenderloin moist until I got my sous vide 😍
