Calorie range for 11 months out???
Now that I'm journaling again and can see where I'm at, I'm wondering where I SHOULD be. The past few days I've been averaging just below 1200 calories. Knowing how much LESS I've been eating then previously because of snacking, I know that I was eating way more than that the past few weeks.
Where should I be aiming? I know that Corinne told me at my last appt at 6 months out that I should be at about 800-1000 a day. Is 1200 too much?
I suppose I could just call our buddy Corinne, but I just hate bothering her. I know how busy she is!! I could wait until my one year appt next month (WOW!) but I just didn't know if someone furthur out them me like Anne or Stephanie might know?
Any insight gang?

I pulled out the "bible" according to Corinne: (for 3 months and on....that's as far as it goes in the book?!?!?)
Meats/protein: 6-8 servings/day at 35-100cals/serving
milk/yogurt: 2-3 servings/day at 90-110 cals/serving
fruit: 1-2 servings/day at 60cals/serving
non-starchy veggies: 2-3 servings/day at 25 cals/serving
grains/cereals/breads/etc: 2-5 servings/day at 80 cals/serving
fats: limit servings (that's what it says) 45 cals/serving
so.......If you average and add.............I got just over 1200 cals/day! Looks like, according to my math (and what do I know??? not much!) you are pretty much on track. I'd email Corinne though and get her opinion...I've done that with good results! Good luck!
Hope that helps! Ruth
