How did you get the calories and protein you needed in a day? I was told I need 500 to 600 calories while losing the weight and 150 grams of protein BECAUSE MY LABS SHOW PROTEIN IS TOO LOW And I should do it with no more than 1 protein drink a day I'm finding this to be really hard I'm 9 months and 20 days post op For the last 4 days I've been trying to do it with one protein drink a day and I'm only getting 340 calories and 67 to 69 grams of protein Only eating 1 oz three times a day every 5 hours I'm staying full and eating by the clock not because I wish to eat

Then I'd add another protein shake.

I was told not to worry about calories; the important thing is the correct amount of protein intake.

If you're at a good protein intake rate, and staying hydrated, and eating correctly, then don't fret about calories unless you dip everything in oil and suck that down.

Adjust your intake as needed.
