TWO baked potatoes? Good grief, Girl, I can't even eat ONE! Neither can my hubby. We split one potato, add a can of Mexican-style corn, and "re-bake" it. That half potato with the corn is our entire meal, and that's dinner. A few hours later, we'll have an orange or (in hubby's case) an apple.
Breakfast for me is soy "egg" nog in my coffee (yeah, I know, it's a trigger -- but not for me anymore, so yaaay!). Then a few hours later, I'll fix my hubby's fave (waffles), and I'll have one. BTW, Rachel Ray recently made some awesome gingerbread waffles, which I'm dying to try.....
Lunch is a grilled soy cheese samich or tuna salad.
Now that's what I call a lot of food. Don't you? It certainly fills us up, but we're old folks whose metabolism has come to a screeching halt, so we eat a lot less than we used to.
Bloating, eh? Well, I do get bloated if I eat too much. In fact, eating too much is the biggest trigger for me, more than anything (except maybe dairy). If I have a plate of spaghetti, I'll ALWAYS get an attack afterwards; I just can't seem to find the right portion. Obviously my body wants a lot less food than I'm giving it.
Does any of this help?

P.S.: Good for you, drinking water while you eat. I wish I could do that. I hate the stuff.
