What Is Your Average Caloric Intake?

[Strangefruit 179]

I know it varies, we are all different sizes and getting in different amounts of exercise...

I was just wondering if I might be eating too much... I am two weeks post op and average 650-700 calories daily... Does that seem like too much? About 500 of those calories are from Protein shakes...

Im 16 weeks post op and Im getting between 700-800. My surgeon says that's where i should be for the losing stage.

I'm 3 1/2 months out and 700-800 is also what my surgeon suggests for the losing stage:)

Seems like alot for two weeks out. 500 calories is alot for Protein Shakes. Mine are 190 calories that include one cup soy milk(high protein).

500 is a lot for Protein Shakes? I have 3 per day and they average 160-180 calories each.. I supplement the rest w broth or Soup. Hmmmmmm....

Sleeved July 25. Gym/exercise most every day. 900 calories per day. As my recovery progressed, my calories went from 600 to 800. Regular exercise brought daily calories to 900.
