Calories/Protein

[manderoo 2]

How many calories do you aim for in a day and how many grams of Protein. I find I'm 2 weeks out of surgery now and the calories are slowly creeping up.

i think this is one of those things you have to try for your self to see what works. i am 7 months out and I tried what other people were doing and I found less then 1,000 I wouldnt lose anything... so i got it down to 1,200 and it works for me.... like I said everyone is diffrent ! most of my calories are in my protien shake in the am and then the rest of the day is light. i cant eat meat not my choice... so I have to drink my protien ...

good luck and just try out diffrent calories and you will soon find what works for you ...

When I started eating, my surgeon's office told me to stay between 60-80grams of Protein daily. They also stress that 1 Protein Drink a day is okay but you mostly want to have "chew-chew foods" (solids), However, sometimes I have a day of just Protein Drinks (maybe once a month) ~ mostly EAS powder, can mix with SO much ~ and my body does better like that. My only real question right now is: if I'm supposed to do 60-80grams at least, how much is the most I should have in a day?

my nutritionist told me that i didn't need more than 50g per day when i start back on solids, she said unless you work out more than 12 hrs a week all that Protein isn't necessary. So don't overdo it, and calories really varies for each person, if you exercising i'd recommend at least 1000-1200. Femles are different than males, and im pretty sure reverie is doing bodybuilder amount of protein.
