No, I'm sorry I think you're misunderstanding. She only wants 50-70 grams of my protein to come from animal products.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. I spoke to a dietitian who explained to me that the 50-70 grams of protein is only taking account protein from animal products, nuts & legumes. Other grains with protein such as bread and oatmeal are not counted towards my protein goal. Also, if I choose to use nuts as my…

Well I suffer from orthorexia which is an obsession with clean eating that has caused me to lose a great deal of weight due to not being able to eat out or find things that I am comfortable eating in certain situations. So I am currently 87 lbs but in order to gain, she has set me to 2,750 calories per day but without…

Is there a a max for my protein? I'm normally getting 100 g daily....

Thank you! Ndj19 & lolBroScience! That's exactly what I needed to hear! I am however having a problem going above the 74 grams of protein a day... Is the protein number ballpark or should I treat it as I do sugar (NEVER go above)?

If I'm only doing .85 grams of protein, what do the carbs and fat raise to? And it's a fitness class that changes daily. The past few times we have done some cardio but we incorporate lifting in also.

Thank you everyone for the advice. It's definitely a tough situation but my relationship with food is not at its greatest. However I choose to cut out refined sugars and flours because of a VERY high risk of diabetes. It runs in my family on both sides and has effected nearly everyone preceding me. So other than rice,…

How do you maintain sugar below your MFP goal? Mine is 22g and I am hitting about 40-45 with one serving of fruit (berries or a lunchbox sized apple) and my all-natural organic plain Greek yogurt and all of my veggies.

I was the SAME way! I started out very small--cutting out soda and starchy vegetables (something that was easy for me since I'm not a big fan of veggies anyway). I also removed snack cakes and potato chips and fast food. I increasingly took more and more out of my diet, finally moving to bread (the hardest of them all).…
