gastric steal
Question
1. How many calories is too much for a meal and will initiate the gastric steal effect?
2. "Try eating a little something every 2-3 hours" how many calories should that something be?
A heavy meal of 1000+ calories could set off gastric seal but so could 600+ calories in someone small. It depends on the size of the person as well as their stomach size.
In order to stay within the recommended 2000 calorie/day diet, the snacks or mini-meals should be 100-200 calories. Things in that range include most fruits and vegetables, pieces of cheese, yogurt, trail mix, nuts, seeds, etc.
Thank you for your follow-up question, Jeff. I hope that my answer was helpful.
