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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
