Feel full so fast

I'm eating healthy and right-sized portions but I'm getting full so fast that I almost can't finish my meal. A salad even.
What's up with that?

    Sounds like a good problem to have.

    I feel the same way...I think my stomach is shrinking and I'm always full of water to help make me feel full! Somedays I have to force myself to eat.

    Your stomach can shrink or expand as needed. The real question is, what happens later? Does what you eat sustain you for as long as you want? If so, you really don't have a problem. You're probably eating the right number of calories for your metabolism (even if that's fewer than MFP recommends; everyone's body is different).
    Or, on the other hand, do you get hungry again, or get really tired & grumpy, in just a couple of hours? If that's the case, you should try either eating more often, or eating a different ratio of nutrients (for example, more protein & fewer carbs).
    No one can really decide this but you, since it depends on your particular body and its quirks. Good luck!

    I have noticed that too. I feel like I snack more and not eat a meal because I can't ever finish anything anymore. I feel hungry every few hours but then I try and eat a meal and no luck.

    Thanks AdAstra47
    in response to your post....

    I get hungry again in a couple of hours. I will take your suggestion and approach this with smart snacking. Just wondered if anyone else was experiencing this. I think my stomach has shrunk a bunch in the last several weeks with all my eating modifications & increased workout schedule.
