Stupid question regarding "one cup of food"



Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
