my doctor said to eat at least 300 to 400 calories per meal. 20 gms of protein per meal, 15-30 carbs per meal and 5grams of fat a day.

I am working well with three 200 calorie meals @ 20 grams protein and two 100 calorie snacks @ 10 grams protein, and go for an extra 10 grams of protein if it adds no carbs. When I go over 30 carbs, it's easier to lose control. And yes, I still measure and log at seven months out. If I don't tack, I lose track.

I did the math from my doctor's office on a menu example, since they are really opposed to telling you how many calories. It calculated to 650 calories per day! I have been eating 800 and losing. They just want you to get your protein first at each meal and that should keep you full.
