When we have a calorie intake limit for the day, should that include the calories in your protein drinks? Some of my protein powders have 119 calories in one serving, and I have to have 3 a day. I'm one year post-op RNY, and I've gained 5lbs after losing 41lbs. I'm getting worried.

I was told by my NUT to cut back the Protein supplements when I'm meeting my protein goal with real food. So as your calories increase, as long as you're eating high protein foods, you should be able to cut them out or go to 1 a day. I'm 6 weeks out and I can usually get half of my goal (60) with food and then I add a Protein Bar and some milk or small shake. Idk if that helps...

Why wouldn't it? If you have a maximum calorie limit then I would think that counts all calories.

@@ambermj Yes it does help, Thank You
