Does anybody know how to change your daily goals for Protein, calories etc.. According to MFP, my daily protein goal is 40. Everyone says that's what to little. Any good high protein food ideas? Having trouble meeting a lot of my daily goals.

Thanks..

Click on "Goals" toward the top of the page on their website after you login. Click "Change Goals" at the bottom of the goals page.

Select "Custom" on next page I have mine set to 800 cal. 25% Carb, 50% Protein 25% fat. Select "Change Goals" at the bottom to save your changes.

I know I 'm staying low carb, low fat, I'm most concerned with tracking my Protein & calories.

What stage are you on? I'm on soft foods and for lunch some days I have some Deli turkey breast (3oz) and a little low fat cheese, I like to microwave it for a few sec. to melt the cheese. It's low cal/low fat and a great protein source. Also make some turkey salad, with Fat free mayo and just put about a 1/2 teaspoon of cranberry sauce on top to mix it up.

set your Protein goal to whatever your doctor recommends.

I'm presleeve and my current favorite Protein source is microwaved flounder. four ounces of flounder is 25 protein grams... I'm also rather fond of adding Protein powder to sugar free pudding... but that's been triggering other sweets cravings for me, so I stopped that.

Lately I've been adding a scoop of Jay Robb chocolate Protein Powder and 1/4 cup of milk to 12 ounces of coffee. REALLY GOOD.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
