Everyone has talked about plans and programs their drs gave them. I was told 70gs. protein and plenty of water. Also to hover around 1000 calories for weight loss. Did other drs give more specific advise?

Mine was pretty similar. Stick between 1000-1200 calories a day, at least 60g of protein, and all meals should be 1 cup or less total.

me too

To get anything more in depth, I believe you have to see a nutritionist. I still have not seen one yet, sigh..But I go next week finally.. YAY! for groupon!

My instructions were:

>64 oz Water per day

>60 gr Protein per day

Limit carbs to 125 per day

Avoid white carbs/processed foods

Avoid caloric beverages

Eat a variety of colorful veggies daily

Limit fats to olive oil, healthy fat foods, such as avocados, nuts etc and only 2-3 portions a day.

If you add it up

60 gr protein = 240 Cal

125 gr carb = 500 cal

2-3 portions healthy fat 2-3 tbs = 200-300 calories

Total 940-1040 calories appx

I eat 3 half cup meals with 3/4 being protein reaching between 60 -70 grams. I was told to not count calories just to measure and track. I tracked everything for a couple weeks and took that info with me to meet nutritionist. I do once in a while have a snack or a treat. Best of luck to you.

Stupid question maybe!

When you guys say a cup do you cut the food up to measure in the cup?
