redhead_che 824 Posted March 17, 2018 I used to love hard copy cookbooks but now I just search on Pinterest and save them. Print them out if they meet my macros. 1 bamby021 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donia 21 Posted March 18, 2018 I'm not sure why I haven't thought about PinterestSent from my LGMP450 using BariatricPal mobile appYes, LOTS of healthy recipes on Pinterest! You can even search Bariatric recipes and it will give you a lot. I just pinned a bunch of healthy fish recipes as I will be adding fish to my diet next week. I’ve never cooked much fish so I need ideas. An added benefit to Pinterest is a lot of the links take you to blogs where someone has posted the recipe and most of them have comments from people who have tried the recipe and will say if it’s good. Some will also give ideas to modify the recipes to make them even better. Pinterest really is a gold mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you calculate your macros? Have thinking about doing this but haven’t been able to get around how much it potentially tell me to eat va what I can eat. I’m about to get about 500 calories in right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have thinking about doing this but haven’t been able to get around how much it potentially tell me to eat va what I can eat. I’m about to get about 500 calories in right now. My macros were determined by my bariatric program. I use the free app My Fitness Pal to track everything I eat and drink. My bariatric program says we need 60-70g Protein, less than 60 carbs, and less than 30g of fat per day. I personally eat only around 30 carbs and 15-20g of fat a day, but always meet my protein. I pick recipes based on where I’m at already for the day—if I’ve had 20g of fat and I’m getting ready to make dinner, I’m not going to choose a recipe with 20g of fat per serving. And I typically only cook recipes that have more protein than carbs per serving. You should have macro goals given to you by your individual program, if not, I’d call and ask! Because id be lost without my number guidelines. 1 bamby021 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoisinPáircéir 22 Posted March 22, 2018 I use two bariatric recipe books: Fresh Start Bariatric Cookbook and Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. The recipes are great, and I like that the Protein, carbs, etc. are listed. 2 bamby021 and GirlShrinking reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
