How do i get my calories?



Recommended Posts

Breakfast: 1 egg and 8oz of juice 130 cals

Snack: Protein shake 120cals

Lunch: Greek yogurt 65 cals

Snack: cheese stick 50cals

Dinner: Ricotta bake 130cals

Total: 500cals and 46G of Protein

My NUT wants me at 800cals and 60-80 grams of protein. How in the world do I do this? I can add another Protein Shake and that will get my protein up but she doesn't really want me to drink. She wants it to come from food. Any ideas/suggestions? What do you all eat in a day to get your numbers up?

Take skimmed milk and add two dates in it and a little Caedmon power! Tastes really good! Dates are good for heart and hav loads of calories!

Cottage cheese is a really good source of Protein. It's also very tasty if you scramble 1/4 c of it with an egg. You could also try mixing flavored or unflavored Protein Powder with your greek yogurt to boost protein and calories.

it "looks" like from the food you are eating/drinking you are on the soft stage???? maybe 6-7 weeks PO???

i am surprised at this early point saying you should 800 calories???, but all NUTS are different

Add cottage cheese, another yogurt , cheese (babi bell is delicious)

i'm sure you'll get other suggestions

good luck :)

btw - i guess thats why tickers are helpful, so ppl can see DOS, weight et al - just a comment/suggestion to all - (you know who you are :lol: :lol:)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
