Hey i know how much Protein i should be getting daily and roughly how many calories they want me to eat but never really gave or that i remember carbs? whats ya'lls average of carbs daily?

I'm pre-op on 800 calories a day and getting 40-55 carbs daily. just low enough to keep me in mild ketosis.

I have a jobs strict surgeon & nutritionist...so here goes what rules apply with them...I can only eat 3 times a day. No snacking!!! At each meal eat at least 20 grams of Protein. Only after protein can I have certain approved veggies. Carbs are to come from veggies or small amounts of Condiments only. No more than 5 grams of carbs per meal. 400-600 calories a day. I'm only 2 months out, 50lbs gone. One thing I've learned is that every surgeon has a different eating plan. Hope this gives you an idea or a place to start. Best of luck on your journey!!!

My only carb guidance was "no more than 19g at once". Having said that, when sticking to the Bariatric Eating plan of Protein > veggies > carbs, my daily intake is usually under 25g, and most carbs are usually dietary Fiber from Beans or other sources, which I do not count. Basically carbs are the last thing you want to eat. They're unavoidable in any sort of normal eating, but just minimize them.

i emailed my doctor and this is what i got

DAILY GOAL:

200-250 CALORIES/MEAL

20 GRAMS PROTEIN/MEAL

15-20 GRAMS CARBOHYDRATE/MEAL

and they want 3 meals and 1 snack so i'm doing it right but i will tell you i don't get all of any of it. i have trouble eating all my meals

My nut has me on 3 meals and 3 Snacks. Ive been maintaining my carbs under 55grams daily so far. I usually dont have the last snack. Protein 70-80 grams and 1100 calories daily. I was never told how many carbs daily but thats what ive keeping mine at.

I have been curious if we are meant to count all carbs or just net carbs. I've noticed some atkinds items for example say 4 net carbs but on the back label it shows 21 total. I was given percentages 40% Protein (60+gms). 30% carbs and no more that 30% fat. Following the rules of protein first, veggies second, no drinking 30/30 etc.

I use net carbs, especially if the carbs in it are dietary fiber, and not something like sugar alcohols.

I wonder if im ok or if its too many carbs because ive been keeping my protein at about 45% and carbs about 32% and the fats 23%. According to ny fitness pal...
