How much salad can you eat?

I'm allowed to have salad now and was wondering how much you can eat of it so I know how much to buy. I hate having food go bad due to my poor planning

Don't buy a lot at one time. I can eat more salad (especially lettuce) than I can dense protein--but nowhere near what I used to be able to eat. I love salad! So glad to be eating it again. I add Protein to it. I like to get the heads of romaine lettuce bc they keep longer than precut salad or other types of lettuce. I usually also get at least 1 or 2 peppers, an English cucumber or mini cucumbers, shredded cabbage, and sometimes baby carrots. That is for both my husband and me though.

I want some salad!

I agree with TES, early out I could only eat 4-5 bites. Now at 20 months out I can eat more than 1 cup! Start slow and chew well :-)

I find that I can get a good amount of salad in. I eat spinach so I can at least get some Fiber instead of empty calories with iceberg. Ill have about a cup of spinich leaves and about 2 ounces of chicken on it with ff dressing. Ill sprinkle low fat cheese on it too sometimes. I was thrilled when I was able to eat salad again.

I love salad, but I can only eat about a quarter cup before it starts to bother my stomach. The key is to chew really well before you swallow. Enjoy!

I agree, I can eat a lot of salad! I was amazed at how much. If I throw in some chicken it's a it less. I love salad too and was so happy to have it again!

When were you all able to eat salad? I'm 7 weeks out and ready to eat salad!

Iceberg at 6 weeks and everything else at 7-8 weeks. Haven't had any problems with any veggies, except the first time I ate lightly steamed cauliflower (might have eaten too much or too fast). Ate it a couple of days later and it was fine.
