Hey everyone I wanted to know from some of you how many calories you get in a day. Sleeve day was 4/20/12 and I track my calories on fitness pal and it is said that i only get in between 400-550 calories a day.. Should I be eating more and if so about how much?

The average is about 30gm, if you're healthy, so your NUT's info is not too far off. That's why I spread it out into (about) 10gm (snack) or 20gm (meal or Protein drink). If I eat over 30 I don't count it. What's hard to define is what constitutes "at a time." If it's per meal, that's not really valid because a meal can easily last me two hours. If it's per time frame, there's virtually zero consistency. If it's per some completion of (or partial completion of) some body process... most people out there won't know when time's up. Etc. I use a 2 hour guideline, but that's just my own educated guess.

Those are good points. Spreading it out throughout the day ought to work.
