Ounces of protein

How many ounces of Protein are you able to eat at a meal?

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I was told not to eat more than 20-25 grams at a time.

The ounces will vary depending on how much Protein is in your food.

Usually 2.5 is cool. I ate 3oz. the other night and was uncomfortably full.

It depends on what it is and the Water content of the meat.

• Turkey, chicken 4 oz.
• Beef 3 oz.
• Fish 6.5

I am 3 months out.

Definitely depends on how dense it is. Ground beef? I can easily eat 4 oz. now (14 months post-op) no problem. chicken breast? Still probably can't even manage 3 oz.

I should have mentioned it was 3oz. of chicken breast that got to me.

I am at 7 months out and I still have 2 oz of Protein like chicken breast, steak or pork with 1 oz of fruit and 1 oz of veggie.

If I eat cottage cheese or yogurt, I can usually do more - like 4-5 oz of Protein.

I'm 9 weeks post op and can manage 3oz of fish but only 1 1/2 of chicken.
