Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Heather, I have calculated the grams of protein that I need and it is a lot of them! (143 grams) I messed up this morning and ate cereal. I do better when my Mom makes breakfast! We are just about out of sugar, but I don't think I am ready to give it up yet. Mostly, I drink it in my coffee-a heaping tablespoon. And I have about three cups of coffee a day, sometimes more. See how much I need your help?!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi Michelle, I believe the formula does have a “cap” at the top, so if you are over 250 pounds, you can stop adding more grams for body weight. So that would mean you’d need 125 per day, or about 40 per meal. Let me check on that information to make sure I’m telling you the right thing J. You don’t have to sweat the sugar yet, it’s something we worry abuot after we are steady! I promise when you’ve taken time to heal and are later in the steps giving up sugar won’t spook you a bit Heather On Behalf Of Michelle Hilliker April 28, 2006 3:13 PM To: Protein Grams: Heather, I have calculated the grams of protein that I need and it is a lot of them!
