Nutrient Counts

I am one month out...I am shooting for 60g protein, 600-800 calories, and my NUT said 120g of carbs. Does that seem high to anyone else? It seems like a lot to me. Also no guideline on fat. What are everyone else's guidelines/goals?

    I am a realist. I eat carbs mainly because I have to live with the sleeve not go on a year-long diet. If that seems high to u then cut it down a bit but don't start a way of eating that u can't mainta

woo - that is very high - I think a lot of folks around here try and keep it 40 g and under during "magic year" - or our biggest losing phase. My NUT wants us to have 600-800 cals, 80+ g protein, and I try and get between 20-40 carbs a day - which come mainly from fruits, and my vitamins and calcium chews contain carbs. I dont worry about fat, with what we are supposed to eat it is usually fairly low, yesterday I had 29 fat grams, day before it was 17, etc - never seems to get that high - it is the carbs that are the devil lol.

Your carb expectation is extremely high. I try to keep my carbs below 40. ;)

I'm not a nutritionist, and every program will have their own guidelines...but....that seems awfully high to me. My Protein goal is 75-80g/day, and calories between 600-800. As far as carbs go, my typical day is between 25 and 30g of carbs, and never from anything sweetened with sugar.

All the best to you!

I am a realist. I eat carbs mainly because I have to live with the sleeve not go on a year-long diet. If that seems high to u then cut it down a bit but don't start a way of eating that u can't maintain for a year, 3, 5, or 30. I eat how I plan on eating for the rest of my life... and yes that includes carbs in moderation.

My nut says not more then 16 grams of fat per serving.

I don't low carb like tons on here do. It is mainly because I eat lots of dairy products, like Kefir, that have tons of carbs.

I typically get no more than 50g a day, which is still "low carb" to "normal" people. You shouldn't have an easy time getting anywhere near that goal. I can't even eat half a piece of toast.
