Fat Calories In My New Diet Plan. Help!



Recommended Posts

My doctor told me my body is holding on to the fat because I'm not getting enough calories and my body thinks I'm starving. So I'm going up from 300 to 700 calories a day. But I'm finding it difficult. I don't know what I should eat. I've increased my calories but the weight is not coming off. I need to be sure everything I eat is healthy. I drink 2 premeir Protein Shakes a day. Then maybe a slice raisin bread in the morning. And at night to meet my calorie requirement I've been eating cup I noodles, tacos, and chimmicungas. I know they arnt good foods but I meet my Protein and calorie requirements. So I'm thinking I need to measure the fat calories in foods. How many fat calories are healthy?

Stay away from the carbs girl!!! Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds, laughing cow cheese, Quest bar, baby bel lights... Better options to name a few!

Protein protein protein. I used to fluff this off but there is a big difference. Over the past two years I have realized carbs slow my weight lost down. I mean the "bad" carbs. Rice, Pasta, potatoes, bread, etc. I lose when I'm over 70 grams per day. Good luck.

So the more Protein, more weight comes off? I had my RNY 15 nov 2012. My wife had the sleeve 15 March 2012, and she pretty much told me I am on mine own.

emt... my doc suggest 70-90 g Protein a day. I do not count calories or fat just protein. Think Atkins diet. DL Coggin has a list of high protein foods.. If you message him he will email it to you. Good luck bud!!

I love eating meat so this will not be a problem. Unless I overeat. I hate pucking. Thank you kristy

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
