Calories at 6 weeks out



Recommended Posts

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 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.

Thats a complicated question. Women can lose eating 1000 to 1200 cals per day. Men 1200 to 1500 cals per day. The main goal is to eat protien first. No high calorie liquids and no grazing. Remember to get some Fiber in

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?

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
