I'm using the baritastic app to start keeping track before my surgery on the 17th. What do i need tip set as my goals for carbs & fats? I know i need between 65-90g Protien.

How far out are you? Are you trying to lose or maintain? How active are you?

To take a stab at it without any info, for losing weight most people go low carb. Many people are under 50 grams of carbs but some are even under 20 grams a day. For women, fat helps regulate our hormones so I would not suggest going under 30 grams of fat a day with an upper limit of 60 grams.

I guess I should have said, I'm still pre op. My date is Feb 17. I'm just looking for information for post op. Like what should my loss goals be?

I'm wondering this, too. I want to use this app but have no idea how to set the goals.

I use the baritastic app with only a 60g Protein and 64oz Water goal. I try to keep carbs under 50, generally, but given that I'm still less than 2 months out, I don't really eat enough calories to both meet the protein goal and go over 50g of carbs anyway I don't really track fats at all, just try to make whatever fats I eat the low fat kind (never fat free, I love myself too much for that!)
