Calorie/protein Intake?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone share with me their average calorie/protein intake for their day. I'm not quite sure where I need to be at now that I'm eating soft foods. 6 weeks out, 33 lbs down, never lost that kind of weight before. I couldn't be more proud of myself, I feel amazing.

I have been eating 600-850 calories a day (usually closer to about 680). My NUT wants me to try to get in at least 800, but I have a hard time doing that unless I'm eating really fatty food wich I don't like doing. I am usually between 60-80 grams of Protein. I am almost 7 weeks out, and have been on a "regular" diet since the start of week 5. I try to keep my fat and carbs under 40 grams each a day (though my NUT gave me no recommendation ranges for this.

I'm 5 weeks out down 34.4lbs my intake is...

*protein 80-105grams a day

*calories 700-800 a day (after my work outs I burn most of that back off to)

*carbs no more the 50 and that is high to me. Usally around 30 a day.

If you haven't already, you might wanna check out MFP. There is a thread here for user names. You can search for: official my fitness pal friend add thread

I'm mobile so I can't get thd link for you...there most members allow you to see their daily food logs/calories/etc.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
