Veteran Sleevers please chime in.

I am 14months out and am not sure how much protein I am should be getting a day. Also I think I know this answer but if you don't hit your protein goal a day, can it stop your weight loss? All answers will be appreciated.

  • The other thing that can definitely contribute to stalled or slowed weight loss is too many calories and too many carbs, so be sure to keep an eye on those numbers as well. Good luck!

  • My surgeon's formula is 0.3 X current body weight = minimum grams of protein needed. Then there is a range based on activity level and REE, etc. So if you really, really want to know your range base

    Definitely talk to your NUT. I am surprised that you don't know your target, especially since you are 14 months out. What have you been doing up to now? My protein goal is also 100 grams a day, ever

I am 135 and aim for 35-40. .3 X weight= protein needed. I eat about 1,800 calories a day and easily maintain my weight loss.

and also forgot to ask, how many carbs a day does everyone try to stay at?

I don't actively count carbs but I tracked all my food for a month recently, just to get a sense of where I'm at since I started half marathon training and needed to increase my calorie intake. I seemed to be right around 70 net carbs a day most days?

Ok thank you for the input, just trying to get a feel for how many carbs will be right for me. I try not to eat more than 80 a day as I am still not at my goal yet and assume along with everything else too many carbs can stall you as well.

When I am in weight loss mode I stay below 60 total carbs (NOT net carbs) per day.

Some people seem to be more sensitive to carbs than others. I have seen people posting that they can't lose weight on more than 40 carbs a day. I didn't track for most of my weight loss phase, but I suspect I was probably more around 60 net carbs a day while I was losing? Now in mainenance, 70-100 net carbs a day seems to work just fine for me. I just always make sure to get my 100 grams of protein in and it the rest of my macros seem to work themselves out from there.
