Pureed food?

I started pureed tuna with a little bit of mayo I put2 tbsp on my plate and am eating and chewing very slowly. What am I looking for to let me know when its time to stop eating.?
 
Hi. My nutritionist recommended 1/4 cup of pureed food which equals 4 tablespoons. If you start to feel full before you finish a full 1/4 C, stop eating. If you don't feel full, that's good. They recommend 5-6 small meals a day, so I've been eating about every 3 1/2 to 4 hours. If I'm not full, I figure I'm not going to starve before snack time, so when I finish my recommended amount, I'm done for that meal. Are you super happy to finally have FOOD?!? Man, I was so excited to get to puree lol

So u do 3.5 meals 1/4 cup at each meal?. That sounds like I can follow that! Thank u so much !
