Just returned from my 6 week check up and the doctor informed me that I am eating way to much protein per day. The suggested proteins per day for maximum weight loss is between 60 to 80 grams a day. With a caloric intake of between 400 to 600 per day.. My calorie intake is ok but I have been eating a over 100grams of protein daily..I am coming up with a sample menu in which I will be eating 74 grams of proteins and about 550 calories. My concerns with this new menu is that the intake of carbs will now be about 57 grams daily. Does anyone know if this amount of carbs will hurt my weight loss? I asked the doctor what a good balance between carbs and protein would be and she said if you are eating healthy not to worry about the carbs.. Which threw me for a loop.. Can anyone help

Thank you very much. Those are the type of carbs that I am talking about. They were coming from beans but it looks like I still might be eating more carbs than protein per meal. With the low fat beans I plan on eating there is 19carbs to 6 protein per serving. Plus 1oz of chicken I will be eating 15 protein to 18 carbs per meal.. I guess I will need to do some more tweaking to my menu.

Thank you Sarahjane79 I blended up 1/2 cup of clam chowder and it did the trick..

I am two weeks post op and I'm in the puréed stage of my diet ..I am wondering what a safe amount of soup that I can eat for one meal?
