Can you me if these are good stats for my daily food intake?
Calories: 1255
Fat: 47.4
Carbs: 125.9
Sugars: 37
Protein: 83.4
Now, this was just for 3 meals total today, no snacking. My surgeon doesn't like snacking, even if it is protein rich. So, don't be too harsh LOL Just gently steer me in the right directions. Thanks!

Also, I kept my calories on the lower side because I'm not very active. If you get in a lot of exercise you may need more calories and carbs. That's why it's so individual. If you are happy with your rate of loss then by all means keep it up. If you feel like you are losing to slow you might want to mix it up a bit.

Most surgeons say no more than 30 per meal. 10 fat grams per meal.
As well, what kind of carbs are you eating? The processed stuff or the good stuff?
