I set MFP primarily for the grams of Protein and carbs and let the MFP program calculate the fats. I use olive oil regularly and butter when I want it. I'd rather use butter than manufactured margarine...I don't care who makes it....it manufactured!

80 g Protein, 60 g carbs, 30 g fat and 10g Fiber. At 800 calories it's 40/30/30 % I don't think healthy fats are bad, they keep your skin and hair nice and keep you full longer. I love avocado, nut butters, olives and olive oil and my new favorite, rice bran oil.

It has taken some fiddling but my body does better with 30%Protein, 45% carbs and th difference in fats. but it is very good carbs, no Pasta, no potato, no corn, only a tiny amount of whole wheat bread products, and only the sugar that is in foods.

still i need 1700+ calories a day so that is 150+ grams of protein--and it is a challenge to get it all in each day.

if i drop below that amount i stop losing weight ( go figure).

(of course i do exercise 8 to 10 hours a week now that my knee doesn't hurt.)

experiment around a bit and see what works best for you.

      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.
