Any advice with fat/carb targets? Using Lose it app for tracking



Recommended Posts

I am tracking in the lose it app and want to set goals for Protein, Fat, Carbs. Yesterday I had my 6 week meeting with my NUT. She gave me protein goals and said lower fat and slightly higher carbs. My calories should now increase to 900-1000 and my protein between 70-80

Is anyone else tracking fats and carbs? I am not sure what to put as a goal for fat/carbs in the app. I was approved for all foods but in my previous life I was a low carb girl. I am finding the thought of increasing carb levels ( good carbs) scary. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Are you only using the app or do you use the website also? I am assuming you have premium since you are able to set goals.

I set all my targets and everything using the website.

Start by setting your goal weight and your calorie target. The app is going to tell you that your calorie target is too low, ignore that. Then set your other goals.

My goals are

Protein 100g a day minimum.

Carbs 10-12%

Fat 40-45%

      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.
