How many calories do you eat regularly?  How many should someone under a year from rny be ingesting? 

I am not looking for medical advice, really just a poll of what works/doesn't work.  My doctor is happy with my progress, but no ine has ever asked about what I am eating or how much and when I requested an appointment with my nut thet said it wasn't necessary because I was doing so well.

I'm about 4 months removed from RNY.  I'm eating about 600-700 calories per day.  Not sure I could eat more to be honest.

Try using the calculator at iifym.com. Choose the low carb or ketogenic option in Step 3 if you are watching your protein/carb/fat intake.

I think the result that you get there is a good place to start, but the general consensus on here is to eat within the 600-800 calorie range during weight-loss phase. I'm not too sure about the maintenance phase.

My surgeon's office never gave me a calorie count. I consumed under 1000/day while I was trying to lose.
