What is the proper amount of carbs/protein/fat to have each day and still be in a losing mode??

 

i try to keep my calories around 1100 per day, not necessarily tracking carb/protein/fat breakdown. for me, i like to get a good balance of all 3 - when i limited my carbs (good ones of course), i had several periods of no weightloss.

 

yesterday -

 

b- SF chocolate shake w/ 1/2 banana

l- 4 chicken potstikers - 1/4c broccoli slaw

s- 1/4c trail mix

d- 1 slice of thin pizza **took forever to eat**

Numbrgirl:

I asked the nutritionist that same question and this is what she told me. I asked the question based on 1200 calorie diet. I think she's full of crap :thumbup: because I told her I didn't think I could possibly eat that much fat, Protein, and Fiber and still keep my calories under 1200. She said that I can. I haven't been able to yet.

Carbs 150 grams

Protein 60 grams

Fat 40 grams

Fiber 25 to 30 grams

So, I'm sharing what she said because she's a licensed nutritionist.

Good luck.

I dunno - all I would have had to have done was substitute 1 serving of low fat French Onion Dip for butter, and I would have hit that target pretty spot on and even exceeded in in some areas, still within the 1200 cal (see post immediately above yours). I didn't list the fibre but it was close...

 

*edits*

Fibre was 23g for the day.

Thanks Sue

I have been watching carbs and when I do I see the weight loss. When I don't nothing moves. I have been having Muscle Milk which has 11g carbs, 11g fat and 22 grams of Protein in each one. I have always tried to keep them at 60g carb per day. I don't feel as sluggish when I don't take so many in. This seems low compared to what you have said.

not being nosey (well, I guess a little) but why did you have to have two surgeries? Were there complications? If you don't mind sharing, I anxiously await your reply.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
