How much lettuce?

[vannababyy22 410]

So just curious how much lettuce can you eat at once? With like meats and veggies I can only eat 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup depending on what it is, I swear with lettuce I measure out 1/2 cup and I never feel satisfied. Anyone else have this issue at all?

I only eat a bite or two of lettuce because I just don't have room for more if I am eating my Protein too. Lettuce won't fill you up in the same way.

Not much. It's worthless, really. It won't keep you full like Protein. Like, I love a salad but after I eat the meat and cheese out of it I am done. If I use it in place of bread (like a chicken wrap or around a burger) I will finish all of it cause it's just one leaf. I'm not eating half a head of lettuce just because.

One romaine leaf. I fill it with a couple of slices of turkey or tuna, that's my lunch. I always make a salad with dinner but can only eat a few bites after my Protein. I'm over a year post op.
