Another request. Please post your daily fat intake.

Thank you everyone so much for your answers on the carbs. It really gave some clarity to some issues. Now I need to know this, your daily fat intake.... on the average. Thanks! Sheryl In the Zoo 369/315/???

I don't track my fat intake Sheryl. I just look at protein and carbs mostly. Hugs, Laurie

Im supposed to get between 30-50 per day, with 12 maximum per meal... I really don't pay to close attention to this yet since the only things I can keep down without dumping is Spaghettios and Pretzels... but when I get to add more food well when my body lets me I will try to stay close to this number... Don.'t know if this helps or not... (((HUGS))) Dori

Sheryl, Think 40-30-30. 40% of your daily calories should come from protein, 30% from Carbs, and 30% from fats. Because of our WLS, our protein intake should be a little higher, but the rest is standard. Again, each surgeon has their own rules. The above is just a basic guide to follow. Hope that helps. Carol

My nutritionist, from Barix Clinics, has me on 45-60 grams a day with no more than 17 per meal. Fat, sugar (no more than 6 g. per serving), and protein (90 g.) are the only things I count. I don't count Carbs but try to keep them down as much as possible. They seem to fill me up too much and am not able to get my protein in when I have too many carbs.

Thanks everyone! My carb question earlier was for someone else (even though it helped me a bunch) but this one was for me. Ever since my gallbladder surgery 20+ years ago, I learned to keep it under 40. I typically average in the 30's but wanted to make sure as a WL patient this wasn't too high of a number. Thanks again, you are all great! Sheryl In the Zoo 369/314/???

Hi Sheryl, I must have missed the post on carbs. Can you tell me what the average daily carb intake should be? Thanks for your help. Jennifer V.

Jennifer, we found that most don't consume more than 30g a day and those individuals even said that they keep it UNDER 30g. I haven't had more than 10g a day for 4 days now so I'm excited to see if it makes a difference. Hope this helps you! Sheryl In the Zoo 369/314/???
