How many calories to lose faster?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I just reached my two month mark on Tuesday, and so far I'm down 40 lbs, which is great, but I was wondering how many calories everyone was getting after 2 months. I know my dietician said I can't work out too much because I don't have enough calories going in now. I'm getting around 870 calories a day, and I know I will eventually be between 900-1100. How many is everyone else getting? What is the intensity of your workouts?

I workout about 5-6 days a week and usually get in around 900-1000 calories a day. After the workout the net calories are usually around 400-500. It's hard for me get in anymore. I've tried to eat a few higher calorie foods too. My weight loss and been pretty consistent up to this point. One thing I do for sure is get my Protein in daily. I usually average no less than 110 grams of Protein a day.

What's the rush? You didn't gain overnight.

I work out 5 - 6 days a week. I eat between 700 - 900 calories a day and 80 - 100 gms of Protein. Every program is different. Follow your dietitian's instructions.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
