Too Much?

Hi! For the past couple of days, I have been eating one serving of Hormel 99% fat free Turkey Chili for lunch. One serving is one cup (I think it is something like 17 gr. of protein!). My question is...should I be able to eat a cup of food this early on?!? Thanks in advance... Jersey Mom

It depends on the food and how dense it is. Chili isn't very dense, it has some liquid. According to my nut. 1C of chili is normal for us to be able to eat. Leeanne

you prob can eat that much because chili is not a dense food (chews down to not much, and is part liquid). however, my nut strongly says to never eat more then 4 oz (or 1/2 Cup) at a time. basically the reasoning is that, even if you can, it is safer not to at this point in your WLS and most likely a 1/2 of cup will get you full, so why eat more?

Hi it dosen't sound like much to me. I'm only allowed to eat 4 ounces at a time. I would check with your nut just to be sure though. Carly

Because the chili has a lot of liquid in it it is OK. It's not like eating a cup of chicken or beef. You probably couldn't eat that. I can eat a cup of chili too. You're doing just fine. Regards and hugs,:kis: Ronna
