I'm almost 4 months out and was wondering how many calories I should be eating per day. I started using "my fitness pal" online to track and I've been on average around 700-800 calories per day. Is that too much? Too little? Just right??

At 4 months I was between 516-840 depending on the day. I use food scanner, water tracker and weight tracker iPhone apps. Love them! And I have a paper chart for overall view like where I was at 4 months.

I'm using a couple apps on my iphone too but my fitness pal is my fav so far. Do you think I'm consuming too many calories then???

I'm wondering if my NUT is a nut. She old me 4 weeks after my surgery that she wanted me to do 1000 calories a day, with 3 meals and no snacks. I get too full on that much food at meal time. I bet I only get 600 - 800 a day.

You really might want to take a look at this. Hala posted it the day before yesterday, I think.
