Is this too much food?

[littlefroggy 0]

I know I am still under in calories for the day, but for dinner I had:

1/4 cup macaroni and cheese (lean cusine)

4 honey bbq wings

My tummy is making weird noises. No pain, just strange rumbling noises.

What do you think? It took me about 40 minutes to eat.

I think the amount is fine but I was told to take no more than 20-30 minute to eat because if you take longer, your pouch can start emptying allowing you to eat more.

You may want to check with your doc on that.

I didn't know that!

My total intake in calories for the day was 995. I also worked out for 30 minutes (Water aerobics class) so I actually earned some more calories if I wanted them.

I had 31 carbs and amazingly 85 grams of Protein today! My personal goal is to eat no more than 65 carbs and get at least 65 grams of Protein. I don't like the feeling of being on a no carb diet, so I just keep it even so I am not getting a whole lot carbs in a day. Also, this was the first Pasta I have tried since being banded. I don't eat rice, bread or anything else like that.
