My Fitness Pal settings

[SupRNurse 0]

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.
