Precursor to post: I know everyone has different plans, ideas, concepts, etc. That's cool and I'm not looking for one specifically.

Cliff notes- my nutritionist sucks. I'm trying to get an idea of how many calories I should be eating around the 6-8 week period (and beyond). Anecdotally, how many calorie were you guys eating this far out and beyond? I'm gathering data. Thanks!

My nut said 800-1000 for months 3-6 to lessen risk of hair loss, mal nutrition and metabolism distress. That seemed like a lot for a couple weeks. Now I get it no problem. When I hear those lower numbers I wonder if I should be eating less as my WL is slow (about 1.5 pounds a week) but my hunger is increasing since I started walking 4-5 miles a day so I worry I wouldn't be able to feel ok on 400-600. I suppose I'll continue to follow my nut's advise. Something I'm looking forward to is at 6 months my carb number can match my protein number. I really crave pretzels, fruit and rice so that will be nice.

Hi MaybeMeow?! Glad to see you’re doing so well! My Nut as well as PA both echoed the 800-1,000 cal. during months 3-6 for energy, metabolism, etc. That’s pretty well where I’ve stayed. Though the loss seems slow, it’s steady and does start adding up.

BUT, I must say, it has not helped with the hair loss?. I thought I was finished shedding but just now in the shower??? Aye Carrumba!! Hopefully it will slow sooooon and hope you have a better experience! But hey, still worth it by a long shot! Keep up the great work!?
