How many calories are/were you able to consume per day at 7 weeks out?

I have the same question. I am 8 weeks out and I'm around 500-600 calories per day. My NUT said he didn't want me counting calories, fat or carbs, only protein and water. I'm down 37 lbs, and I'm pleased with that, but I still wonder if I should be monitoring anything else.

Congratulations of the 37lbs forever gone! I'm down 43 lbs, but I struggle to even get 500 cals a day. I make sure I get atleast 65g of protein, but liquids make me so full I can't get a lot of cals and a lot of Fluid lol.

My NUT has us on 600-800 cals during our losing stage. Carbs as low as you can get them and 80+ g of protein. They dont seem to focus too much on fat (surgeon has patients do Atkins induction - no liquid diet until clears the day before surgery.) 64+ oz of liquid a day minimum.

How are you eating less than 500 cal with 65g protein? What your typical daily menu?

Two premier protein shakes would give you 60 grams of protein for 320 calories so it's possible. It's much harder using just food. I haven't figured that out yet and struggle to get more than 30 grams of protein a day without the shakes.

That is right. I usually have a premier for breakfaast after the gym. I can't eat more that 1/4-1/2 cup of food at a time. Usually closer to 1/4 cup. I try for cottage cheese and tuna a lot for the protein but can't eat enough to get enough cals. Especially if I'm trying to get enough fluids. Drinking Water makes me very full for a long while. I don't really drink anything else except prottein when I have too because I'm so full from water.
