Daily Nutritional Goals



Recommended Posts

What are everyone's nutritional goals? I haven't really seen anything beside eating >30grams of Protein every 3 hours and <6grams of cards. But daily whats you Calorie intake, protein intake and carb intake???

My daily intake is a goal of 1000 calories, more than 64 grams of Protein and less than 60 grams of carbs. I have never heard of the requirement by hours.

I have never counted anything. I eat what I want, when I want. Rule of thumb is eat your Protein first, veggie then fruits. bread last. I use toddler plates to prepare my meals. Biggest portion meat, 2nd slot veggies then tiny piece of bread. I have had many tests since surgery that show all my Vitamin, protein, etc levels are in normal limits. That's just how i do it. Don't have a clue how many calories, fat grams, grams of protein etc. This is a life style change, not a diet...so my counting days are over :) I eat until I am satisfied and then stop. I also make common sense choices about what I am eating. (However I do not do sugar free, fat free etc. YUCK)

About all I watch is Protein. If I'm losing 2-3 lbs a week, I'm good.

I just started using myfitnesspal.com and their suggestion of calories was 1370 a day (I put in my current weight, my goal weight and that I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week!) it's been working great so far!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
