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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
