Food Confused

I am very confused about what I am supposed to be taking in each day as far as calories, protein, etc. I have been keeping a food journal and I seem to be taking in about 300 calories a day, and about 40 grams of protein a day. I am not sure if that is too much or too little. Lately I have been feeling a little lightheaded, so I wonder if my intake has anything to do with it. Another bypass friend told me I should be taking in 90 grams of protein a day, but with the limited quantity of food, I can't see how to get it in. My surgeron and my nutritionist gave me very little to go by and my nutritionist gave me a big NO to protein bullets. Anyone have any idea??

I have been taking the bullets as a suppliment, because its quite hard to get my 80 grams of Protein each day.  I usually have a shake between breakfast and lunch, and a bullet either before or after dinner. Why do you say they are bad?  So many people on this site swear by them.  I am confused.  I, of course, never spoke with my nut about them, so I do not have that info to go by.

I don't know the reasoning behind why they are bad, but my NUT said they are a big no no and to stay away from them.  I do recall her mentioning something about them not being Whey portein and you should only have whey protein.

The (horriblely tasting) fruit punch one I just had is whey.  Says it right on the label. Guess there are different ones then that arent.
