Do you find it difficult to eat all thats on your plate at once?

Shouldn't you be checking it out with the doctor? I normally help myself to as much as I would need for a meal. Yours could hopefully be just a gastric problem which with a little medication get you well. Such matters should not be taken into our own hands. Get well soon.

isn't this like a how long is a piece of string question...surely it depends on how much is on your plate?

From a biological point of view, your stomach is the size of your cupped hands and it takes approximately 2 hours to digest this size portion. But you can eat this portion every two hours to maintain a healthy metabolism etc. So if you're eating more than this in one sitting it's no wonder you're full!

It's extremely common that people eat 3 or as little as 2 meals per day which end up being enormous - 3 and 4 times the portion size they should be eating - and this stretches the stomach so it eventually takes more to fill the individual. The fact is, if they spread that food out over the course of the day it would be far better for their health and metabolism...that is of course assuming they have a balanced diet.

hi ronnyb...
i would say that this is not a physical problem it is a psychological problem.....when you where a small kid your eat how much you can.....but as you grow...your hunger increases but your appetite remains the same....you will feel more hungry because you work more but your stomach can accommodate food as per your appetite......so you will find that you see a big burger and feel that you can finish it all alone when you return from your work...because hunger stop some section of brain which says that you cannot have that huge burger......but when you actually start eating it and your hunger subsides you came to know that you cannot finish it alone.......so you eat it after sometime......this has happened with many times......

I can’t eat huge amounts all at once and I feel more comfortable consuming around six to eight small meals day. I don’t know why it is so; maybe I have a particularly small stomach or something like that. I did read somewhere that is actually healthier to eat small snacks in comparison to bigger meals.

There may be different reasons why you are getting full so quickly; I would suggest a check up if you are concerned but you might just be a small eater.

not to be flip to make light of your situation but i have the exact opposite problem. i eat too much and i know it. it is an ongoing battle for me and i have lost 16 lbs over the last 6 months by exercising as often as i can and eating less on some days when i am not particularly hungry for whatever reason. i just go with it because there are days i do eat way too much. yesterday was one of those days so today i have to make a concerted effort to eat lightly so i do not gain any of the weight back that i worked so hard to lose. i can gain weight very easily so i have to be careful and i have alot more weight to lose.

yes sometimes i do find it difficult to eat everything on my plate, sometimes i do get deceived by my stomach especially when it looks as if i have nothing in it but at the end of the eating, i get filled up easily and i do wonder how that happens and after some few hours i may likely feel hungry again

I used to have this problem also when I was younger. someone else would be fixing my plate though. I either did not like what was on my plate or could not eat it all. I only put what I know I will eat, on my plate now though.

If someone is serving my plate then I probably can not eat everything that is on it as I am a very small eater so what I can not finish I just have to push it away to avoid getting ill.

However, when I am serving a meal and serving my plate then yes I can eat all that is on it because I serve myself very small portions and if I am still hungry I can always go back because there is never a time that I cook that there is not enough for seconds and thirds and usually fourths!

Good Luck with your problem and if it persists then I would suggest you see a doctor.

That is never a problem for me.Because I use to fill my plate little by little and stop once I feel enough.We need not be greedy to fill the plate with our favorite items and then struggle hard to eat everything.Even if there are some medicinal important dishes to consume take it as a snacks before the direct meals plate.Cheers!

Hello my friend ronnyb Ji,
Why not food is taken by any individual what one can take easily. Take little little at number of times. I think, you may be allergic to look at heap of food.
May God bless You and have a great time.
