300 to 500 calories?

[Rosa 29]

How are you guys only eating 300 to 500 calories a day? Just my morning 50 grams of Protein Shake is 220 calories. I have been eating about 700 a day. I was sleeved on april 22 and 4 weeks out. Lost 24 pounds so far. What are yall eating?

My nutritionist told me not to protien shake just yet cause in order to get the full protien you have to drink it all n if you have to many in one day you can stretch the sleeve..so she said get the powder cause you can get the same amount of protien say 25g in 8 oz of Water or broth, and yoh will be able to eat more say 5 or 6 times a day n have the 70g of Protein or more to avoid hair losss n hunger

It's been almost 3 years and I only TRIED to drink those shakes for a week before switching to the Protein Shots, some call them Protein bullets. IDS is the brand, 3.4 oz - from GNC. 180 calories and 42 grams of protein. They are just as nasty as the shakes, but less calories, which was a plus, but mostly, sooooo much less to have to drink. I was ONLY eating 3 meals a day, period and early on, I could only eat 1/8 of a cup, YES, isn't that unreal???!!! 1/8 of a cup per meal. I did not count the 'bullet' as a meal. I'd also eat about an eighth of a cup of sugar free jello-o and I drank 2 cups of skim milk, I started and ended each day with a cup of milk, I still do this. Anyway, I was eating very, very little. I was not hungry at all, NEVER.....I ate because I knew I must. My calories slowly went up as I added food into my diet from broth and LF cream Soups, an egg is 70 calories, but when I started eating a scrambled egg, I could only eat half. What are you eating and how much are you eating to get in 700 calories so early on?

Ready made shakes tend to have more calories vs Protein in them. Trader Joes has the Pure Protein Drink which has 35 grams of protein at 160 calories. Those are the only ready made ones I'll touch. Body Fortress powder is 52 grams of protein at 225 calories. that's my powder!!! There are really good low calorie, high protein options out there, you just have to look

I drink my Isopure low carb shake in the morning (2 scoops powder in 8 oz water) I have one cup of coffee 2 hours later. I eat something 2 hours later like half avacado with some pico de gallo. Then lunch is prob some kind of cream Soup. Then humus or vienna sausage. Then half of Protein Bar. Then dinner which is something like soup or chicken salad. It all ads up to about 700 to 750 calories.

You might consider only using 1scoop of your Isopure powder. Your body cannot absorb more than 30 grams of Protein in a sitting.

avocados, hummus, sausage, cream Soups are all higher in calories. Try the reduced fat versions or smaller portions.

I drink this brand It's pretty good, the low carb kind. 17 Protein 100 calories. It's the RTD kind but the flavor Is good. I get all my Protein with food, I just like these for a boost. Makes me feel better. I lost a bit of lean muscle mass in the past year.

Then you need more protein..your body has no more fat to eat so now its eaying your muscle which isnt good..after surgery my surgeon said to eat at least 70g of protein for the rest of my life..none of his patients had problems with hair loss because of it..n there is nothing wrong with eating alot of natural Proteins..just try n limit the ones yhat have a lot of fat..n try n eat stuff uncooked..when you cook thinga it takes away someof the minerals
