Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

i try to keep my calories around 1100 per day, not necessarily tracking carb/protein/fat breakdown. for me, i like to get a good balance of all 3 - when i limited my carbs (good ones of course), i had several periods of no weightloss.

yesterday -

b- SF chocolate shake w/ 1/2 banana
l- 4 chicken potstikers - 1/4c broccoli slaw
s- 1/4c trail mix
d- 1 slice of thin pizza **took forever to eat**

Numbrgirl:
I asked the nutritionist that same question and this is what she told me. I asked the question based on 1200 calorie diet. I think she's full of crap because I told her I didn't think I could possibly eat that much fat, protein, and fiber and still keep my calories under 1200. She said that I can. I haven't been able to yet.

Carbs 150 grams
Protein 60 grams
Fat 40 grams
Fiber 25 to 30 grams

So, I'm sharing what she said because she's a licensed nutritionist.

Good luck.

Sue

I dunno - all I would have had to have done was substitute 1 serving of low fat French Onion Dip for butter, and I would have hit that target pretty spot on and even exceeded in in some areas, still within the 1200 cal (see post immediately above yours). I didn't list the fibre but it was close...

*edits*
Fibre was 23g for the day.

Thanks Sue
I have been watching carbs and when I do I see the weight loss. When I don't nothing moves. I have been having Muscle Milk which has 11g carbs, 11g fat and 22 grams of protein in each one. I have always tried to keep them at 60g carb per day. I don't feel as sluggish when I don't take so many in. This seems low compared to what you have said.

not being nosey (well, I guess a little) but why did you have to have two surgeries? Were there complications? If you don't mind sharing, I anxiously await your reply.
