I am 16 months out and have lost 140 pounds. I am wondering how I should be eating now?? What should be my caloric intake be and how many grams of protein should I be eating?? What should I watch out for?    — HotMamaDBA (posted on January 8, 2003)

Do you still have weight to lose or are you on maintenance? I suppose that would make a difference. I know how I eat at 20 months out on maintenance but I'll bet I would be a lot more strict with my carb/fat intake if I still had weight to lose. I have listed on my profile what I ate at 4, 9, and 18 months out. I have never really watched fat, only reduced carbs and upped protein. My caloric intake for 4 months was about 800, for 9 months was about 1000-1200, and currently is about 1500-1800. I shoot for 100 grams of protein a day. Sometimes I make it, sometimes not. I would say to watch out for carb creep. I eat only protein for breakfast and I seem to eat less carbs and less in general. I feel less hunger. Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you like. I'm always here to help! =)
