mandablaire 0 Posted May 24, 2014 How many calories should I be consuming at 6 weeks out? Can someone break that down into carbs, fats, and Protein for me as well? I cannot find my handbook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted May 24, 2014 I was eating 600 - 800 calories a day. But the amount of recommended calories is going to vary by doctor. My handbook says 50% lean Protein, 25% healthy fats, 25% carbs. In an 800 calorie diet, that's 400 calories of Protein, 200 calories of fat, and 200 calories of carbs. 1 Denise73 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No high calorie liquids and no grazing. Remember to get some Fiber in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToWongFu 7 Posted May 24, 2014 I'm curious about that too. I've been tracking with myfitnesspal and feel like I'm definitely getting up to 700-800 cal a day, but others are saying they only take in 500ish. Wonder if I'm consuming too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzymonkey 38 Posted May 24, 2014 How many calories should I be consuming at 6 weeks out? Can someone break that down into carbs, fats, and Protein for me as well? I cannot find my handbook. I just started a similar thread: 5 weeks out and 300 cal and 30-40 Protein. ( I use my fitness pal as well). Thinking of eating 4x a day rather than just two.
