Do you count calories??

Hi Everyone... I was just wondering if you all count calories? If so, how many calories? I haven't started counting yet...The doctor never mentioned it. I'm not even sure how many calories I would take a day.. Thanks, El

My doctor/nutritionist do not have me counting calories. They have me counting Protein (90 grams), Fats (no more than 17 grams per meal or 45-60 per day), and sugar (no more than 6 grams per serving). I have not had my 6 month appointment yet (will probably be a 7 month appointment) and have not had a chance to talk to them lately, though. Things may change the next time I see them.

Elizabeth, I keep track of mine on fitday.com. After a few months you just "kinda know" how many calories you are consuming. I still keep track so that I don't forget. I stay it between 800-1000 although I have had less than 800 several days this week. I think it's time to up the cals for a few days. C Leigh

I don't count my calories, I just make sure I get my protien, calcium, vitamins and exercise and the rest takes care of itself. Tim

Thanks Guys! I guess I will stick with not counting for now.. I just had my 6 month and I am down 109 lbs. I am mostly concentrating on getting in my protein and fluids!! Thanks for your help... El
