vannababyy22 410 Posted December 27, 2016 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?

suzzzzz 1,005 Posted December 27, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCurvyJones 721 Posted December 27, 2016 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.

cdsjjotn 516 Posted December 27, 2016 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.
