I am sure this has been discussed here some where but I can't find it. What are the nutritional goals once you reach the soft food stage? How many calories, how many carbs, how much Protein, etc. I would appreciate any help you can give

Every program is different, so I can't tell you what "the" nutritional goals are, only what my program's goals were for me. When I was on soft foods, my rules were:

--no more than 800 calories per day

--at least 75 grams of Protein per day

--between 30 and 60 carbs per day

I had a whole bunch of other rules about types of food I couldn't eat (potatoes, grains, etc.) and when and how much to eat -- but those were the basic rules for calories, protein, and carbs.

Thanks!! That is what I wanted. I have joined MyFitnessPal to keep track of food and exercise and they automatically put my calorie and carb intake way to high.

I really like MFP and I use the Iphone app MOVES to track my walking. I have been stuck at -27 lbs for over a week and that is frustrating.
