I just got an activity tracking band. This can connect to an app called My Fitness Pal, which can be adapted to fit any diet goals. Is there a diet, maybe by %s that will work for a veteran type gastric bypass. I've always tried to get 80 grams of Protein in but have never seen any guidelines that include carbs, calories and or Fiber etc. I've attached an example from My Fitness Pal.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks,

Terry

@@Terry Lincoln - I'm not a veteran so take this with a grain of salt. I am a long time MFP user. (Milaxx)

MFP is not set up for baritraic diets and probably will never have that type of setting. However I don't worry about % as much as I look at types of foods and when those food are eaten. I am a vegetarian and since most of my protein is plant based my carbs tend to be a lot higher than a lot of people would be comfortable with. I also vary my calories consumed based on how active of a day I have. Complex carbs don't slow my weight loss and neither does natural sugar. Too much sodium and processed foods do. So what I did was manual set thing for how my body works. As long as I meet my protein goal, keep my calories low and manage to stay under the other macro nutrients I am fine.

I have been using My Fitness Pal for years....right now (and I am not even two weeks out of surgery) I am just using it to chart what I eat so I can basically look at the nutrition to check my Protein. I like being able to scan labels and makes my life easier. I couldn't find a place to adjust the numbers they suggest I have tried!

On the app, tap on Goals in the menu and there is a Nutrition Goals section where you can change everything.

Can't remember where to do this on the website, but it will be a similar process.

same deal. At the tops of the page click GOALS. On that page you can change goals to your liking.
