Too Many Calories?



Recommended Posts

I am now at the mushies phase of eating and I am trying to get most of my Protein from food rather than Protein supplements (which I find nauseating). While I was on liquids I was getting 800+ calories a day. Now that I'm eating mushies I actually ate 1200 calories yesterday (and managed to get in 78 grams of protein, which is good).

I am hoping that when I get to the regular food phase I will only be able to eat small amounts of more solid food (these mushies go down and through pretty easily) and so the calories will be reduced.

Any thoughts/experiences on this?

I had this conversation with my NUT yestereday. She told me to not even think about calories, just focus on the protien. I start mushies on Monday. She told me I will probably be able to eat about 1/2 c. She did tell me that when I start adding in more solid protien and raw veggies at week 6 that I will feel fuller and not eat as much.
