I am 6 weeks out and just wondering how many calories are you getting in and how much are you eating at each meal, how frequently are you eating?

I'm averaging between 700 and 800 calories a day. Each meal is about 150 calories and then I drink 2 protein shakes each day to try and maximize my protein intake. Currently taking in between 90 and 110g of protein a day.
Regards,
Chris

Honestly, I am not sure what my calorie intake is. On an average day, I eat 2 meals, usually fish (1/2 a tilapia filet fills me good, or 5 or 6 shrimp with some lemon juice) or eggs since they are high in protein and easy to digest. I am just not very hungry. I try and have at least 2 protein shakes a day and try to get at least 60 ounces of water in besides that. I have found that now that I am working out at the gym, my water intake has increased, but I am sure the amount of water I am losing during the workout counteracts that....lol

Probably 700-800 calories, but you should be more concerned with carbs/proteins instead of calories.

not counting calories, but i try to aim for the 60g mark for proteins. i am not eating enough to worry about calories at this point.

I get my protien in but at first I was eating less than 500 calories a day like between 300-400 now i'm eating closwer to 700-800 I've been on a stall for the past 2 weeks and thought maybe I was eating to many calories .. I get between 65-70g a day w/o protien drinks (they are the only thing that don't sit well in my pouch they are nauseating and the smell maks me gag I was a gaggy person to begin with)

I'll be six weeks out tomorrow and I'm consuming usually 550-750 calories per day.  I try to eat six small meals (as instructed by doc).  All meals are protein based.  Every morning I start with an Unjury and milk shake.  The rest of the day I get all my protein from food.  If I find I want to eat something without protein I supplement with a protein drink at the end of the day.  Oh, and I do count my protein shakes and drinks as a meal.
However, I have only lost 7 pounds in the past three weeks so I might not be the right one to ask.

I was told my my NUT and Doc that I needed to be at 1000 calories a day, I was at about 600-800 a day and I was not loosing anything, once I added in an additional snack the scale started moving again! Maybe try adding a snack or 2 in just to bump up your calorie intake and kick you matabolism back in gear. Good Luck!!
