4-5 hundred - and carbs were under 50 grams but thats just me - very carb adverse cause they were my addiction

600- 800 calories daily. Usually closer to the 800.

Carbs tried to keep under 50 usually ended up at about 60 grams per day.

Thank you so much for responding! ☺️ That’s close to what I’m getting in. Haven’t lost anything the last 3 weeks.

About to start week 7 and I’m between 800-1000 and try to get close to 1000 especially on days I workout. 50 total carbs or less and at least 80 grams of protein.

Upping my calories helped me break my stall. I started at a much higher weight than most an less than 800 calories was not working after the first couple of weeks.

Yes, slightly upping my calories helped too. I am 5 weeks post op and hit a stall for about three weeks even though I was walking daily. I remembered several years back I was very successful with Weight Watchers and lost a lot of weight and hit a stall. The WW rep told me to increase my calories slightly (100-200 cals) with nutrient rich food (not junk) and it worked. I applied this theory again and have been losing a pound a day since. Also, walking helps tremendously.

I'm 10weeks today. I'm eating between 600-800 cals per day (mostly closer to 650-750). Protein is around 70-75g/day. I keep carbs between 20-40g day net. it's about 3/4 cup of food by volume and about 2-2.5oz protein per meal and 1-1.5oz of veg per meal.

I am also 600-800 calories/day until 3 month appointment. Not sure what happens then.
