How Many OZ. do you eat at a meal??

Just curious how many Oz. you were told to eat at a meal and how often do you eat? (How many times a day)

do not go by weight go by volume.

1/2 cup of  beef weighs more than half a cup of cauliflower...

I go by weight when measuring meat. I usually eat 2oz at a time. For everything else I measure by volume. Soups are usually 1/3 to 1/2 cup and most everything else is around 1/4 cup. Now....there are days when I can, and sometimes do, eat more than that. Those are my bottomless pit days! And there are days when I'd swear I'd just gotten out of surgery with a 1oz pouch. But I just figure those days are my body's way of telling me it needs more or less food at the time because neither one seems to make a difference on the scale.

You should be hitting about 1/2 cup a meal. You are measuring by volume, not weight. Weight comes in to figure out the nutrients but the volume (size amount chewed up in the pouch) is what matters since eating more than that generally will stretch it, which is normal to happen over time, but that can be overdone too.

I actually GRAZE all the time. Keeps the metabolism up, doesn't stretch the pouch, keeps the blood sugars good and I calculate out my protein count, eat full fat stuff and eat complex carbs only. I am well over a year out and doing fine. You are striving for a balanced diet-moderation...quality over quantity.

I'm 16 months out and eat about eight ounces at a time.  I usually eat five times a day but my dietician encourages me to eat six times.

I eat 7-8 oz per meal- 3 oz protein & 4 oz veggie, or whole grain.

I eat 3 meals a day and 2-3 snacks.  A snack is protein with fruit or veggie.  I often don't have a snack in the evening because I'm too full.

I eat 3-4 oz protein at a meal and no more than 1/3ish cup of "sides" be it veggies, rice, etc- the plan says 2oz of fruit or veggie, but the volume is what I measure here, as far as sides go. I never have more than 2tbsp of a starchy side, I will not be one of those people who "can't" have certain things. For me, that just sets me up for binging and gorging on crap later. My program allows up to 5oz of protein per meal, but I just can't do that much dense protein. 
I eat 3-4 times per day, one of those meals being yogurt. Sometimes two. Once I start working, I'll be doing protein drinks for breakfast (I can't eat a meal first thing in the am), meal for lunch and dinner and a yogurt snack somewhere in the day if I can find the time. I'm sure I'll adjust that somewhere along the way, but that's what I was doing while on my internships, so I'm assuming it'll be the same unless I'm hungry throughout the day (to which I'll have an apple/fruit or yogurt). 

Although the volume is what your pouch can take, you have to weigh your protein to know what you're taking in. I would say if you want to measure by volume, weigh first, then measure with a measuring cup. 

You are further out than me, but I eat up to 1/2 c. at a meal.  I typically eat less, but that is what I portion out.  I do that twice a day.

I have a protein shake for breakfast and two snacks.  Snacks are about an ounce (blueberries, cheese stick) or a liquid (dannon light and fit)

I eat around 1/2 cup to 1 cup of something at a meal (3 meals and 3 snacks.)  Dense protein fills me up quicker.

I eat 3 ounces of protein (weighed) with 1/2 cup of something else like baked potatoe.

Basically 1 to  1 and 1/2 cups of food at a time.

I eat 4 times a day.
