Wow - I ate SO much today but it was still under my 1200 limit! I guess I made good choices :thumbup: I'm thinking I need a slight fill though, coz was really hungry today but I am so full now (just finished dinner).

What is the proper amount of carbs/protein/fat to have each day and still be in a losing mode??

Numbrgirl:

I asked the nutritionist that same question and this is what she told me. I asked the question based on 1200 calorie diet. I think she's full of crap :thumbup: because I told her I didn't think I could possibly eat that much fat, protein, and fiber and still keep my calories under 1200. She said that I can. I haven't been able to yet.

Carbs 150 grams

Protein 60 grams

Fat 40 grams

Fiber 25 to 30 grams

So, I'm sharing what she said because she's a licensed nutritionist.

Good luck.

I dunno - all I would have had to have done was substitute 1 serving of low fat French Onion Dip for butter, and I would have hit that target pretty spot on and even exceeded in in some areas, still within the 1200 cal (see post immediately above yours). I didn't list the fibre but it was close...

I have been watching carbs and when I do I see the weight loss. When I don't nothing moves. I have been having Muscle Milk which has 11g carbs, 11g fat and 22 grams of protein in each one. I have always tried to keep them at 60g carb per day. I don't feel as sluggish when I don't take so many in. This seems low compared to what you have said.

not being nosey (well, I guess a little) but why did you have to have two surgeries? Were there complications? If you don't mind sharing, I anxiously await your reply.

i love it - actually all melons work, grilling.

just sear each side (about 1/2inch slice) for about a minute or so & add a dash of sea salt....
