If I was eating a meal out I think what usually works best for me if I was having a starter then main course is to inject after each course.

Is this is an ok thing to do?

If it is then maybe i should do this when having a takeaway at home too.
 
It's not ideal to inject after eating, although if the takeaway has a high fat content then it probably won't matter so much as it will probably digest slowly anyway. Thought you were cutting back on takeaways Gill? 😉

Normally I inject at least 15 mins before a meal. Just purely wanted to know if it was ok injecting after eating on the odd occasion. Thanks for your reply 🙂.

Tbh we have one often on a Saturday evening so I can choose to give myself a break from cooking each night of the week 😡
 
Yep I would do the same in that situation.

I know a few people who bolus after a meal as they are not sure how much they will eat off their plate - makes sense to me?
