Stupid question regarding "one cup of food"

Not to gross anyone out, but when we are talking about eating 1/2 -1 cup of food, are we talking pre or post chewed?

I'm sorry but that is pretty funny and I wondered the same thing!!! Would love to hear any answers. For me as I am not filled yet I can eat more than a cup and I can eat again in an hour sometimes depends!

I had to smile at your queston-I asked the same thing! My Dr said it is to be one cup pre-chewed.

lol- Also what size cup is standard? A standard tea cup? I never know this. I bet there are some big cups knocking about. In fact I am sure my kids bought me a big "best dad" cup a few years back which can take about two pints. Now I suppose that would be cheating, lol :o:biggrin:

It's a one cup measuring cup.

I believe its one measuring cup pre-chewed.

Hey, AggiePaige, are you still near College Station? I live near there!

I was wondering how you measure it after it is chewed!!! :o

Thanks for all the responses!!

Kelly~V, I am back in the Dallas area now.

ok, def not a stupid question..lol

So the ENTIRE meal should be no more than one cup??

Pre-chewed. I usually go by ounces -- 1 cup = 8 liquid oz.

That really helps! I was picturing a dry measuring cup, and it doesn't seem like they hold as much as a wet measuring cup. Good to know I'm not overdoing it.
