Too much or not????
I am concerned that I am eating too much. I am losing and I believe I am okay with calories but it seems like I eat more quantity than most. I don't really snack but my main meals are larger than I expected. I am cleared to eat anything that agrees with me and have only had trouble with chicken thus far. Today's menu, breakfast was a cheese stick, lunch was 1/2 cup tuna with low-fat havarti cheese about 3 slices, dinner was a filet of grilled whitefish and a cut-up cucumbers with vinager . Yesterday, I had a small chili from wendy's and about half of a plain baked potatoe. The other day, I went for sugar free ice cream with a WLS friend and ate one whole scoop and she took 3 days to finish. I hadn't ate anything in the last three hours but should I be able to hold that much. My friend surgery was only two weeks after mine. I had two protein shots daily totaling 120 calories and 30 grams of protein. I listen to my body and stop before I get uncomfortable. Is this too much? Dinner is about 1.5 cups. how many calories is ideal? Could my pouch be too big? My doctor did not define meals to well. there are samples but mainly for the other stages. I am probably eating more out of habit than hunger, but I was told it was worst to skip meals. I am a newbie but I will take any advice coming.
