5 months or more out, how many calories per day?



Recommended Posts

For those of you at least 5 months out, what is your calorie intake daily? I have still been taking in between 700 and 900 per day and carbs below 50 a day. My exercise has increased to 5 times a week. I try to get more calories in on the days I exercise but never over 900. I would like to hear where everyone is at on their daily intake when you are at least 5 months out so I can measure where I am at. Please also list your exercise time you are doing.

Thank you.

Thats about where I was at 5 months. My Nut recommended 800-900 through the middle phase of losing. I am at 9 months now and eat around 1100-1400 a day. exercise 4 days a week. Eating a little more helped me come out of a 6-7 week stall not long ago.

I'm 5 1/2 months out. I get at least 60 grams of Protein, 64 oz. of Fluid per day and average between 700 and 900 calories per day. I also take all supplements recommended for my plan. I take my Calcium in tow doses in instead of three; my nut said that was OK because I kept forgetting to take it at lunchtime.

I exercise 5-6 days per week. Two 45 minute walks at a fast pace, two 1-hour group workout classes, one 30 minute session with my trainer, and one other activity, such as a bike ride, walk, or yoga class.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
