I have been concentrating on getting my required gms of Proteins in everyday and doing considerably well compared to the first month. I have added low fat flavored yogurt into my daily diet. I'm considering adding low fat ricotta cheese (need to consult with my doc first) too. And I'm concerned about the fat consumption for day.

If it is not much trouble, may I ask you my fellow sleevers, how many gms of fat do you consume on average per day?

I dont really get quality low-fat products where I live. So I'm always doing the math to make sure I get enough Protein and less fat. Your replies will help me keep track and make sure I dont over do fat, coz I am a slow loser (not complaining -- I'm thankful for every pound lost!!) and I dont want anything in my diet to adversely affect the weight loss.

We'll all get to where we want to go in our own time. You are doing fabulous!

Hello, I do not keep track off my fats, but I am conscious of them while I am losing weight. Once I get a bit closer to goal I will go back to full fat but right now I actually do low fat for the short term, I find it to not be as heavy on my sleeve. Tried full fat and I feel like it just sits on my stomach. Weird I know but for the short term (3-6 months) of low fat wont affect me to much.

I just posted something similar on another thread. At almost 7 months out I try to keep my fat and carbs below 50, my calories between 800-1000, and my Protein between 65-75. Today:

892 cals/72 carbs/37 fat/70 protein

Great day for me, and I had lots of things I enjoy (crackers, french salad dressing, small serving of baked potato w/ butter & light sour cream, cabot reduced-fat cheddar cheese, etc.).

I don't worry too much about my carbs because they don't seem to be impacting my weight loss, but generally there's just not much room for carbs after my protein & veggies - so it naturally stays pretty low.

Wow now I'm really worried I'm not getting enough calories. I am 2 months and 1 week out and I'm not getting quite 600. I usually get my 60 grams of protein, with cheese meat and muscle milk I make myself do atleast 50 if I have to eat PB late at night and I struggle with water, I drink watered down sunny d to help, I only allow myself 8 oz of SD which is 60 calories. I just don't want to eat. Never ever thought I would say that. I used to laugh when people would say they "forgot" to eat yeSh right who does that?! Now it's noon before my brain even registers hey you need food dummy. I sometimes wish I could get a little hungry!

Around 600 calories is fine if you are losing. I think the ideal is between 600-800 calories for weight loss and 1000-1300 for maintenance. Everyone is different though. You have to find what works for you.

Thanks to all of you for your replies! I'll start solid diet in about 10 days. Cant wait!
