1/2 cup of food

[vickyd 24]

My NUT wants me to eat 3-4 oz Protein and 1/2 cup veggies and that fills me up and I always eat the protein first. Personally, I have to take in around 1,000 calories to lose weight (any less and I stay the same or gain a little, if you can believe that) and there is no way I could eat 1,000 calories just eating 1/2 cup of food per meal. In a normal day, I drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast, have my protein and veggies for lunch and dinner and then eat at least 1 snack (sometimes 2 depending on the day). My Snacks always are protein -driven like string cheese or turkey deli meat rollups with laughing cow cheese. This completely satisfies me and I'm not hungry between meals...I was just banded in December and was told at my first fill appointment that I didn't need one because I'm not hungry between meals and am still losing weight consistently...so far, I'm not complaining
