My fitness pal question



Recommended Posts

Ok, I just signed up for my fitness pal, the ap on my phone. First of all, goal of 192g of carbs...huh? Anyway, how do I change my goals, calories, Protein, carbs to fit my needs? Also, it only shows me calories I've consumed for the day, how do I see all of it? Remember, I'm on my phone, not desktop.

Not sure about your phone capabilities, but I have an iPhone and could only change the food goal settings on my actual computer.

I could only change my calories intake on my phone,. go to the tab that shows the circle with the downward arrow , go to edit profile and then you can change your calorie goal, when you change that it also adjust how many carbs you should be eating, sugar ect.... note that I dont go by the carbs they are recomending way too many for me ... hope that helps

On the computer I was able to change the automatic distribution of calories to reflect the high Protein low carb settings I needed. Otherwise it wanted to keep changing the carb amounts to a higher amount. I'm 6 weeks out with a calorie limit of 800 aiming for 60-80 grams of protein, less than 40 of carbs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
