Whats your daily calorie count? And grams..
I'm 160 pounds and 5'3.I'm wanting to get down to 130. I'm looking for how many calories you eat per day to maintain a weight of 130 pounds? Also how many grams of carbs, fat, sugars do you intake? And when reading labels what is your max amount of grams per serving of carbs/fat/sugars in meals?
*I Love My RNY!* 
I'm 5'4" and weigh 137 currently. I eat about 1500 calories a day. I don't count carbs, just limit the starchy stuff. I stick to 15 grams of sugar or less per meal. I don't really count fat grams, either, just stick to low fat stuff most of the time.

- These are the rules I followed/follow:
- *Drink 64 ounces Liquids daily (drink up to a meal, wait 60 minutes after a meal) (I add 2 packets sugar free drink mix and 1 teaspoon Benefiber to 2-32 ounce water containers)
- *Must eat at least 60 grams of Protein a day (100 or more grams beginning at 1200 calories a day)
- *Eat no fat/lowfat dairy products
- *Eat simple (fruit) and complex (vegetables, whole grains) Carbohydrates (I do not count daily grams)
- *No more than 15 grams of Sugar per meal (more grams if able to tolerate-I allow myself no more than a maximum of 30 grams Sugar per meal from Simple and Complex Carbohydrate sources because I do not seem to dump on Sugar)
- *Eat 3 main meals (B, L, D) no further than 5-6 hours apart
- *Eat 1 protein snack at 1200 calories a day at least 2-3 hours from breakfast
- *Eat 2-3 protein snacks at Maintenance calories a day at least 2-3 hours from B, L, D
- *3-6 Months After Surgery: I ate 600-700 calories a day
- *6-9 Months After Surgery: I ate 800-900 calories a day
- *9-12 Months After Surgery: I ate 1000 calories a day
- *12-18 Months After Surgery: eat 1200 calories a day (I ate 1200 calories a day until 15 months when I reached my goal weight)
- *18 Months after surgery (or when goal weight is reached before 18 months): Maintenance calories (BMR/RMR & Activity Level) (Malabsorption of calories lasts approximately 18-24 months) (I eat 1700 calories a day to maintain my weight loss of 200 pounds at a weight of 131 pounds. My height is 5'4")
- * I do not participate in a formal exercise program due to Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis. I do move around a lot more and do a lot more walking.

Yep-gotta know your activity. I eat 1,600-1,900 per day. But I work out almost every day burning 300-400 calories each time. I get 100+ grams of protein and carbs daily....I do not count fat. I eat full fat products when I eat them. I hate low fat and fat free stuff.
