Daily Post 10/12 & 10/13
Hello Everyone!!!
As I sit here doing my dailyplate calculations I'm wondering: How far out are you all & how many calories are you taking in daily? Do you count your carbs or just protein?
I'm 18 months out and try to stick to 1200 calories. I concentrate on protein but the carb # I try to watch and keep below my protein intake.
Have a great week!!!!

The only thing I actually count is my protein. I want to make sure I'm getting enough in. I've been maintaining my weight pretty well for the last month or two, so I feel my calories must be OK. I do watch the amount of carbs I eat, as I am hypoglycemic and can not eat many carbs-the more I eat, the lower I go. I probably should monitor my calories just so that I know where I am and then should I ever find myself gaining I'll know why, but I'm totally lazy when it comes to counting calories. I just don't want to do it, so I don't. Bad? I'm sure it is. This is something I need to work on.
two years, two months out, and I keep track of protein first, then carbs. I really need to get back on fitday.com and track better, but throughout this whole thing, my surgeon kept telling me not to obsess over calories - just get the protein in and keep the carbs low.
