August 30, 201312 yr yeah lilboo ask him' date=' cuz maybe I'm eating too much!!! Lol[/quote'] I would ask but I don't think you are eating too much. I average about the same. I was told not to worry about the calories. Focus on the Protein number.
August 30, 201312 yr I would ask but I don't think you are eating too much. I average about the same. I was told not to worry about the calories. Focus on the Protein number. I was told the same. Focus on Vitamins, protein and fluids. For the record I'm getting between 650 and 850 cals a day according to my tracker. I'm three months out. Turkey chili w/beans is good too. One cup has 17gr protein but I can only eat 1/2 cup. I never have trouble with it.
