How many calories can you eat?

sarabride2006 · March 21, 2006

Hello everyone! I've been pretty good at counting my calories and I'm curious how many calories you eat now post band? Sometimes I feel like I don't do very well and eat too much. I've been searching for a thread that was similar to this with NO luck.

Thank you!

a gabillion depending on the day and the mood my band is in. but mostly it depends on my food choices. i had a candy bar today (hiding my head in shame) so i am sure that really racked them up! agh agh agh!!!

How much "can" I eat and how much "should" I eat are two different questions with fastly different answers.

We *should* be staying around 1200 to 1500. I think I'm around 1500 many days, higher than that other days, but I don't lose weight unless I eat less than 1300 ALL DAYS. boo hoo.

This is a very loaded question, because how many calories you can eat depends on what you are eating. If I only ate Protein, I would probably have a hard time getting to 1,000. But who wants to eat only chicken breasts all damn day? Then again, if I only ate ice cream, I would never be full, and I could probably go over 10,000. Where's Susan to get on her protein soapbox?
