About how much food volume

[Midnight Phil 0]

I haven't had my first fill yet and I was wondering about how much food I will be able to eat, volume wise before feeling full.

I have just been cleared to eat pretty much any healthy and safe choices I want. I have eaten a whole McDonalds premium salad with grilled chicken and low cal/fat dressing without actually feeling full or any discomfort. I am thinking this may be a bit too much though (volume wise). I am guessing that things will change after my first fill but want to get an idea on how much food is going to be appropriate to eat at one sitting. I want to get used to this before the first fill if possible.

Am I doing anything wrong? Should I not be eating so much?

Thanks

Hi there,

The McDonald's salads are pretty big. When I order their salads, I would only eat 1/3 of it and save the rest for later.

Plus, salads don't really fill you up.

Since you don't have any restriction yet, its understandable that you can eat without discomfort. But try practicing now and cutting back your portion sizes to a cup of food at each sitting. I had my first fill last week and I do fill restriction, but I know its not my "sweet spot" yet because I do still feel hungry sometimes.

Hang in there :0) I hope this helps. So start off with 3 oz of lean meat, and 1/2 cup of veggies .

I can't wait to think of much smaller portions of food as a good-sized meal. I am doing a much better job at home, but when I forget to take something with me to work, its been hard to find good quick food. I was normally just getting a fruit/yogurt parfait from them if I needed something, but was real hungry so I got the salad.

Oh, I know how you feel ! When I am out and about without a packed snack, I go into panic mode. But its good that you chose to have a salad instead of nuggets! That's an awesome start. One problem I have is eating too fast.

Sigh, still learning myself ! Good luck :0)
