I am sure this has been discussed here some where but I can't find it. What are the nutritional goals once you reach the soft food stage? How many calories, how many carbs, how much Protein, etc. I would appreciate any help you can give

Every program is different, so I can't tell you what "the" nutritional goals are, only what my program's goals were for me. When I was on soft foods, my rules were:

--no more than 800 calories per day

--at least 75 grams of protein per day

--between 30 and 60 carbs per day

I had a whole bunch of other rules about types of food I couldn't eat (potatoes, grains, etc.) and when and how much to eat -- but those were the basic rules for calories, protein, and carbs.

Thanks!! That is what I wanted. I have joined MyFitnessPal to keep track of food and exercise and they automatically put my calorie and carb intake way to high.

MFP is great! It really helps keep it all on perspective!

Mine were the same as Bufflehead.

I really like MFP and I use the Iphone app MOVES to track my walking. I have been stuck at -27 lbs for over a week and that is frustrating.
