Easy To Get Too Much Calories

By desertmom

· 345 views

Now I read all these posts of women saying:"o,its so hard to get in enough calories" and I want to laugh my head off!!!!!!

 

It is the easiest thing in the world to get too much calories in one's quest to get enough proteins.

 

So you drink 2 protein powders and they are 360 calories.Then you have 1 cup of milk at 100 cals.Another cup of veg beef soup at 220 cals and look where you are already.I read of people keeping around 600 cals in liquid phase and it freaks me out as I am already over that.

 

I dont have a problem drinking anything.When the dr says 6 half cups of liquid something during the day as food,do you now wait 30 min before and after or do you not?then,like with me not being able to drink water,I have to drink tea and all kinds of stuff to get the fluid in.

 

I AM SO SCARED I WILL FAIL AT THIS.

 

I cannot wait to feel a little more like a human so I can just stop thinking about all this ALL THE TIME.

 

I really like things that are more of an exact sience...with this I just dont know what ia going on from one day to the next.

    There are a lot of different protein options out there, Nectar and Jay Robb are a few I use, and they are only 100-110 calories. I am down to one a day so figure around 200 calories for that. An ounce of cheese (or two) are 100-200 calories, chicken, lunch meat around 50-100, eat that a couple times a day. Maybe an extra glass of milk for fluid and protein. I usually hit around 800 calories a day, eating and drinking the whole time. If you are losing, you are fine. If you are concerned you are getting too many calories, you might talk to your nutritionist or look in to different proteins, some are made for people trying to gain weight or who work out very vigorously so they do have more calories. It sounds like you are newly sleeved. Do you use a tracking website? There is a large group of sleevers on myfitnesspal and sometimes it is nice to see what others are doing.
