Mfp: Average Weekly Intake

[EarthyGoalie 253]

I was just curious, for those of you who use myfitnesspal, what are you averaging at weekly and how far postop are u?

I'm surprised I'm averaging at 600 a day right now.

This week, I had:

Fat: 114g

Carbs: 280g

Sugars: 103g

Protein: 269g

I'm 3 months out and I try to keep calories under 700. I stay mostly under, but there are certainly days when I've gone over a bit without allowing it to worry me too much.

I've set my Protein/Fat/Carb ratio to be 40/40/20

i did this for two reasons. 1. Insulin resistance and finding that lower carbs make me less hungry. 2. It's the recommended proportion for those with metabolic syndrome as well as underactive thyroid, both of which I had/have.

Metabolic Syndrome is likely if you were obese, were insulin resistant, had high triglycerides, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar (and let's face it, almost all of us on this forum likely answered yes to at least 2 of these ), then that seems to be the recommendation.

Thanks for replying :-)

I do have insulin resistance. I'm trying to keep my carbs down. One problem I find I'm having is eating "real food". I have been eating cheese, Protein bars, Protein shake, Greek yogurt, etc... As far as having real meals, like poultry, seafood, veggies, etc..., I don't know what it is, I guess it's easier for me to do what's easier... :-/
