I have a question for you all, how many calories do you eat in a day, and what's your Protein intake?

I don’t count calories. Because with my intake there’s no way I can eat enough to make me gain. I strive for no less than 60G Protein per day. I try to keep my sugar intake under 30g which I usually fall way under.

Smoothies have saved my life. I couldn’t do the Protein Shakes I purchased. The consistency was terrible. I do strawberries blueberries mango pineapple and spinach most mornings

I just had my one year surgiversary on Halloween.
My surgeon told me just after surgery to shoot for 70-80 grams of protein a day and 50-70 carbs.
I track every bite on My Fitness Pal. Eating that way came to about 700-800 calories a day most days.
I wasn't really tracking calories but I know from the app how many I got. I never worried about fat.
I lost 100 pounds in 10 months which got me to goal. People who have more to lose usually lose faster and those with less to lose lose more slowly (not always just in general).
Since reaching my goal I have lost another 10 pounds. I am trying to slow it down.
At my one year check up my surgeon told me to aim for at least 1300 calories a day. 1400 would be better.
I struggle to get that much in. I predict I will hit a low weight and then bounce back up a little.
I am currently 138 and he doesn't want me under 130 for my height.
I know a lot of people say they don't track calories but if they are restricting macros (protein, carbs, fat) they are not getting very many calories. It helps me to pay attention to macros AND calories because, like I said, I need to increase calories at this point.

My goal is to hit at least 60 g of Protein in a day (aiming for 80 - 90 g). I look for low volume, low calorie sources.

I'm 5 weeks post-op, and I'm going to start adding back my strength training to my cardio, as well, increasing my cardio.

To manage my food, I bought about 30 100 & 118 ml containers with lids. I put all my food for the day in these containers for work.

I'm averaging 800 - 900 calories a day, where 40% of those calories are protein.

My focus is on protein and fibre. I keep track of it in MyFitnessPal too.
