hortonshine 34 Posted March 15, 2013 I generally stay under 5% fat per serving less than 3G of sugar and keep calories under 1000 a day. I'm more around 500-600 a day 1 nursie026 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

music1618 879 Posted March 16, 2013 My doc does not have us track those items. He said keep things lean and clean and we will be ok! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrsb12 73 Posted March 16, 2013 Should of said less than 10 grams of sugar per serving not 3 grams My nut says use your hands as reminders no more then 5 grams of fat and max 10 grams of sugar so 1 hand = FAT and both hands = SUGAR ...CALORIES I DON'T HAVE A BALL PARK YET but you are so right every doctor and but have different standards...... living4myself_gb1-21-13: 1 nursie026 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted March 16, 2013 I think the reason for not counting calories right now is because we do not absorb them like we did. When we get further out I think it corrects itself. That is why they call it the honeymoon period Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
