Hello, I'm new to this site. I am excited to have some online support. I'm 7 weeks out. About how many calories should I be eating daily?

What did your NUT tell you? Mine did not give a caloric intake, just that:

1. I should eat no more that a salad plate of food for a meal.

2. It should be 70% Protein, 20% vegie, 10% starch

3. I should eat the protein first

4. No more than 2 Snacks a day

5. 60 - 65 g of protein a day

I was told to focus on my protein and not my calorie intake...and to get 60-80 grams of protein a day. Im only 2 weeks out and I am really trying to focus on fluids 640z a day. I keep a log on my fitness pal and I don't eat over 500 cal a day since I am trying to focus on 640z of fluids...I would call the dr or nut and see what they tell you.

Do you count Protein shakes part of your fluids?

I was told to count them.

I was told to count them.

Yes I was told to count the shakes as Fluid...once i start eating real food im not supposed to

My program refuses to give us calorie totals to aim for. They follow the hunger trust model. Eat til your satisfied..no more.

Within that are a few rules..

No more than 1 cup of food total per meal

Hit Protein goal daily

Protein first always

Hit Fluid goals daily.

Thats the guidance my program gives us.

Thank you all for your input. I see my doc next week, so I'll ask him.
