A Cup Of Food



Recommended Posts

I'm on the mushy stage now and I was just measuring food to see exactly what a cup of food looks like Portion wise and I'm surprised that it actually looks like a lot. Idk maybe it just me . I mean I know pre band I could eat waaaay more than a cup of food so I thought a cup of food should look small to me. Is it just me or does anyone else think a cup

of food looks like a lot more than it sounds like it would like. I hope I'm making sense sorry if I'm rambling. lol

The first time I went out to eat after being banded, I couldn't believe how much food was on my plate! Before being banded I wouldn't even have noticed, but after eating from a small plate, I was like Wow! It took me 3 days to eat it!

I feel the same way when I look at 1 cup of food. If I am having Protein, I weigh the Protein andit i eat 6oz then i put 2oz in a cup or weigh 2 oz depending on what it is.

A steak of 5 oz even looks big.

With an intake of plenty of Protein, you also stay fuller, longer.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
