My nutritionist told me it is not calorie intact it is volume at this time. i am six wks out.

60-90 grams of Protein.< /p>

I try to do 60-80 grams of Protein and carbs keep under 100.

I think of everything in terms of 60-80 ratio. 60-80 oz Water. 60-80 g Protein. and 60-80g carbs. That is what my nutritionist told me to maintain.

I think these answers follow pretty much the same thing my NUT said...she said not to worry about calories at this time (I am 6 weeks out) but to make sure I get the 60-80 grams of Protein (she wants me to aim for 75g) and very important to stay hydrated, too...like others have said (and I can say by experience), unless you are eating starches and high sugar foods instead of the dense Proteins, veggies and Protein Shakes, it is very difficult to eat enough volume-wise now to go over 600-800 calories per day (which is my current avg)

Now I'm just trying to find a Protein Shake that tastes half decent maybe flavorless one so I can add it into things I like smoothies so one that's good for blending any suggestions and don't forget I'm in Canada! Not sure if the states would have the same brands of Protein Shakes as in Canada?

Not sure if you can get them in Canada but the Premier Protein shakes are really good. I get them at costco. (Chocolate)

Blend and yum yum with 50 g of protein! Good start to the day.
