Carb / Protein / Fat %'s

[Elaraye 20]

I'm in my 7th week post-op. What did your guidlines recommend your daily carb/protein/fat %'s to be at this point?

I was told 60-80 grams of Protein but I wanna set my carb and fat % goals in MFP too.

Rules I lived by in the early days:

80 grams of Protein as your goal

64 oz of liquids (sugar free popsicles count!)

Keep sugar under 10g per serviing

Choose low or non-fat products

I tracked all my food and if I saw that the combination of fat and carbs was going above 50% of my total caloric intake I'd slow down on carbs and replace with Protein.< /p>

Hi Elaraye,

My program reference says:

General Nutrition Guidelines:

Calories: 700-900/day

Protein: 60-80 grams per day from low fat sourcess

Carbohydrates: 100 grams per day from fruits and veggetables

Fat: Limint to 30-40 grams per day: choose more mono-and polyunsaturated fats

Fluids: 64oz per day minimum

75% of each meal should be Protein

25% should be shared between veggies, fruits with a very small amount of starch (well toasted bread, crackers, or potato only.

My dietician says 50/25/25 with the 50% being Protein. That's how I have my goals set in MFP. :-)
