Hey Atomic. I’m on my phone and having difficulty finding your “HE in a nutshell” article. I just need a reminder what protein/fat/carbs proportions are good for HE. Thanks!
Hey blue swayer!! It’s looking like I won’t be conceiving anytime soon so may end up all ttc oct/ November! My youngest turned 1 on July 29. HE protein/ carbs/ fat at every meal/ snack/ meal/ snack/ meal/ snack —-meat/ whole dairy/ beans/ nuts/ eggs/ 9-11 fruits and veg each day, prenatal/ probiotic/ omega and do some weights!

Hey! I managed to get this "repaired" so I could answer this (not sure if you remember but I couldn't open this thread because there were 2 punctuation marks in the title, irritating glitch). Thanks for your patience.Quote:

A large minority (even as many as 40% or so) end up somewhere between 70-90g protein, and an even larger minority (about half) of all blue swayers actually eat between 1800-2200 calories.
You may have noticed that I didn't list "fat" in those macros, and that's because fat is just an "eat as much as you can" kind of thing. People need to eat somewhere in the range of 70-120 g protein and 1800-2500 calories, depending on their individual metabolisms, their starting weights, the amount of exercise they're doing, if they're breastfeeding, and so forth - since some people don't gain any weight on HE, others gain like 1-3 lbs, others gain 5-8, and the thinnest people gain up to 15 lbs. AND we also aim at getting that 9-11 servings of fruit and veg if possible, cereal at least once a day usually, plus things like whatever side dishes like hamburger buns, potatoes, rice, etc that you need to get the protein foods down. So fat should just be "whatever amount of healthy and/or saturated animal fat is left available to get up to the cals needed after I've eaten my protein, fruit, veg, cereal. You'll get some fat thru the milk on cereal and the fat in the meat and stuff, but you fill in the gaps between what you must eat and the cals you need by then using things like butter, cheese, mayo, salad dressings, olive oil, nuts to get up to your cal intake.
That’s a interesting question :) sorry for highjacking Mommymachine..hopefully this helps others.
I was actually wondering about ratios yesterday..like, would the whole protein+carb still work if say a snack had 5g protein but 20g carbs etc? (Just making up random #s)
Is there a minimum ratio for it to be considered ok? Every once in a while I get caught out (I do Prep in advance where possible to avoid this) and grab something that is mainly carbs or fat but low in protein compared to the rest. I (try ) don’t sweat it too much but want to be prepared so can phase out things that won’t hit the ratio #...
Yes it does!! It really doesn't take many carbs to keep your blood sugar up without having to resort to burning stores of fat as fuel (which is really our endgame here - you're not trying to keep your blood sugar at some super level, it's just trying to avoid burning the stores of fat off as fuel)
Awesome, thanks :)Quote:

Mommymachine - where are you at with your sway and ttc?
How your sweet littlest girl?
Don't overthink it though, this is easy!Quote:

OMG!!! Woohooo!!!
Thank you!!
How are you doing Mommymachine?
Has anyone heard from Mommymachine? Hope all is ok!
Hello, this is Mommymachine, I’ve had difficulty getting into my account. I just wanted to update everyone that my 5th baby girl was born August 14th, and we named her Brooke. She is almost 5 months old now and we love her to pieces. I don’t think we will be trying again, and if we ever do, we will not be swaying anymore. Brooke seems to have cured me of any gender desire. I hope you are all well! Merry Christmas and Happy New year!
Congratulations! What wonderful news :)))
Oh my goodness, had been thinking about you! Congratulations on your littlest girl - what lovely news :) enjoy your sweet bundle - so doubt are the kids doting on her <3Quote:

I know this is probably little consolation to your failed sways, but I really do appreciate you sharing your sways with us. We learn so much from everyone's sway and I appreciate your time coming to let us know.
