Question About Calories
I know everyone must be so sick of questions about calories. A few weeks back you were having a discussion about how many calories you all were eating. I was just wondering if you would please let me know *again* how many you were eating. I know some of you said you were going to call your nutritionists, and see what they had to say. I would really appreciate knowing.
I had surgury March 6th. I sometimes forget this board is here. I am eating around 500-600 calories a day. I live quite far away from the nutritionist that I have to see, and she isn't returning my phone calls. UUUG!
So far I have lost 54 pounds and I am 38 pounds from goal. Yea!
I just wanted to know if I was in the ball park.
Thanks,
Seven
Hi Seven,
I also don't have a dietician at the moment and had to ask what everyone is eating. Right now, I am eating between 600-800 calories per day. I'm 6 1/2 weeks out. On the days I go to the gym, I try to get an extra 100 calories of mostly carb heavy foods (80-100g of carbs). It gives me the energy to get through my workouts, work, school and kids when I get home.

gee I feel like a pig! after reading what others are eating/calories but I am losing 5-7 pounds a week so I am going to keep on eating and drinking like I have been
seven did you get an answer you were looking for in all of these? it seems to be very individule - I eat more but work out a LOT. others eat less work out some, some don't work out yet, some work out more than me I guess.

Im at about 500-600 calories a day.
I don't do protein shakes (I can't stand them)--- which is where a lot of people get their calories from.
My Nutritionist wants us eventually at 1000-1200 calories... but she is talking like 4-5 months out. Right now at around 600 calories I am where my nutritionist wants me to be.

with the protien shakes I get in between 800 - 1000 calories a day, I've found I'm losing better with slightly higher calorie count, especially for the 5 days a week that I work out.
If I just throw a little peanut butter and or a few almonds in there on top of the protien shakes it isn't hard at all for me to get to the 900 - 1000 range.
