I can eat quite alot compared to ya´ll (im 2½years postop)..
but i´m not worried cause i reached my goal eating like i do.
A normal plate full of food for me is about 10oz (and then one third is veggies one third protein and one third carbohydrates).
If i eat soup i can double that.
If i eat sushi i can eat the miso soup and then 8-10 pieces.
The rule here is that if there is more fat in the meal the less can i eat. Also the speed of eating has a role here.
For example if i have salmon (baked in the oven with nothing but spices) 3.5 ounce, 3oz of rice and 3oz of veggies. I can eat it all. BUT if i add a fat sauce i can only eat half of it. When i eat a meal like this, it takes about 30 minutes before the plate is empty.
I don´t think there is anything to worry about as long as the food is "good" food.. I mean who have become fat eating oatmeal for breakfast? But i have another aspekt in my head and that is the differences in eatinghabits sweden compared to the US. I have been in the states many times and have had a hard time finding food that is healthy (I was there as a tourist though and didn´t have a kitchen). I have not been over there after my GBP but i think it will be very interesting next time if it´ll be hard with the food choices.
Hope noone got offended with my lill post.
