Daily Total Calories



Recommended Posts

Some of those numbers are so much higher than mine. I am to get 60 G protein' date=' keep fats and sugars low and not worry about the rest. I end up making it to 60 with a glass of oveltine many nights. I also add half a scoop of unjury to yogurt, Soup, etc, to get there as I don't enjoy the Protein drinks. My goal is basically 60 now and goes down to 50 g at maintenance. I shoot for around 600 cals, but don't worry if I'm just a bit more.[/quote']

Yeah, my doc pretty much said the same thing to me. We'll worry about calories later. It's a little hard to ignore when using MFP since it focuses on calories. Every day I get the message that I'm eating too few calories, but I just care about the Protein intake.

Where do you log in Water intake in MyFitnessPal? I can't find icon, pull-down, etc. I'm doing great thanks to logging all my food (drinks, I should say as I'm still on stage 2 liquids!) in MFP. My calories are close to 600 and Protein close to 80. I must say (and I wish I could get paid, because I've said it before) that Unjury brand UNFLAVORED whey protein has saved my life! Zero flavor-21 grams protein per scoop. Between meals I make a batch in my GNC shaker cup (1 scoop protein and Crystal lite-any flavor, they have a lot now! Water.) I fill a Rubbermaid 24 oz. Water bottle 1/2 way with ice, add my protein/CL mix and fill til top with water. One of these between Breakfast and lunch and one in the afternoon gibes me 42 grams, breakfast shake is about 30 (Premier ready to drink from Costco). This enables me to get plenty if protein in before dinner so I can have what I want without worrying that I still need a lot to make my daily quota of 60-80. Whatever my lunch and dinner is, I had 72 grams so I'm right in the middle. My calories are staying low too, which I like -fir now anyways, once the Holidays start, I doubt I'll be staying that low!

I stopped counting. I was becoming obsessive with it. I barely keep track of Protein but know that I get in well over 80g a day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
