I've started working out at the gym. I wear a heart rate monitor so I know how many calories I burn. I also use myfitnesspal to monitor my food intake. If I eat 800 calories in a day and burn 500 during a workout, is that going to be a problem? 300 calories net seems too small of a #. I'm not sure though. I'll see my doc on Feb 1 for my 2nd fill. I'll ask him then but just thought I'd throw it out there to you guys. Thoughts? Also I am 6 weeks postop

You might want to increase your calories a bit but focusing on Protein. If you have sufficient protein then you'll burn fat. If you don't have enough protein, you'll lose muscle.

But definitely talk to your doctor, they know far more than anyone here.

Talk to your doctor and or nutritionist. This does sound like a very low amount and could lead to starvation mode and lower your metabolism.

I always have a high protient drink b4 my workout .

Thanks guys. I thought it was a little concerning. Emailed my doc today just to be on the safe side.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

Doc emailed me back and told me to have a protein shake before workouts. Problem solved!

Glad you talked with the doc. I always have a protein shake or bar before work out! Good habit to make and keep! Your weight loss is awesome! Way to go!

you are dong good but keep posted about your development to your DOC. and wish you healthy and fit life ahead
