How Many Carbs And Calories

[KCGFNP 5]

Ok.. Here goes I was banded in Nov 2011. My weight loss has stalled. I recently doubled my injury Protein Shakes to 2 a day and have started to lose again... FINALLY. My doc who did my surgery and the doc I am seeing now in another state have different thoughts on the amy of carbs and calories I should have daily. Please share with me your daily calorie/carb consumption. Help needed.

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day. I eat at least 60g grams of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat. I don't buy white rice, bread or Pasta. Only whole grain and brown rice, and if the label says "bleached" or "enriched" I don't buy it.

For me, this is the formula that works. Everyone is different so we all have to find what works best for us.
