My Fitness Pal settings



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Im post-op sleeve around 15 days. I want to set up the My Fitness Pal nutrition settings. My Goal is 800 Cals a day. Does anyone know what percentages Proteins vs Fat vs Carbs to put into the app for our specific kind of diet?

I used 30, 30, and 40 Proteins. Always trying to go high on Protein.

I actually go 25 carb, 35 fat and 40 Protein. But I rarely hit carb or fat goal and exceed protein.

I once found the USDA guidelines and I stick to them. You must keep one system carbohydrates: 45 to 65 percent, protein: 10 to 35 percent, fat: 20 to 35 percent

Also, I think 800 calories a day is very little, 1000 is enough to create a deficit of calories. I like to eat a variety of foods, lots of chicken, eggs, Pasta and rice instead of carbs, and lots of vegetables. This allows me to maintain a healthy diet that helps my body build muscle during exercise. Also, if you go in for sports, I recommend you a Protein Shake, it will also help you a lot. In your case, you may not be getting the minerals and Vitamins you need, so you need to add them for best results. I advise you to add them to your diet so that there are no violations in the work of organism.

Kevin,

I was recommended to use the "Baritastic" app for pre-and post-surgery. I just completed my 1st week of pre-op using this app and it's very user friendly. You may want to try it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
