I have a question. I eat 3-4 ounces of protein per meal and I am stuffed. How do I fit the veggies in and still meet my protein requirements.

I can only tell you what I did during WL and still sometimes do in maintenance.

Veggie only snacks....

Tip:Don't eat anything till your stuffed..... stuffed is over eating.... that was our other life !

So Frisco, you mean eat like celery and PB2, or bell pepper with hummus and things like that as snacks? That is a good idea. Thanks!

Right now, you don't.  Eventually you'll be able to eat more, and you add veggies then.  (At least, that's how it is for me.  My only real food sadness this entire time has been that I can't eat more veggies.)

I'm about 3 months out and I'm still not eating veggies.  I can eat about 2.5 ounces of protein and that's all I have room for.  Sometimes I'll add in lettuce and have things like a taco salad, burger patty on top of lettuce, and I'll roll lettuce around a ham & cheese rollup, etc.  That's about all the veggies I can fit in right now.

OK thanks Amy. I wasn't sure I should be eating them or not. I had 2 ounces of chicken sausage and tried to eat broccoli and almost got to the point where I was going to be uncomfortable. I will hold off on them for a while.
