50g of Protein is HARD!

[atomic sagebrush]

I made a mistake I am not eating 1700 calories I am averaging 1400 and now that i think of it I probably am eating more fat in the vegetable oil i cook with, as i wasn't counting it before. I have such a hard time getting more calories in while keeping protein down. I am going to try wine.

What's wrong with fruit??

Wine and candy is starvation. We gots ta get some real food into you. Remember, you're trying to sway pink while remaining healthy to get and stay pregnant in a few weeks.

Okay great. I just remembered I can add oils to salad and stirfrys etc. So I think Ill be able to up my fat now.

fat is one of the most overlooked but easiest ways to get cals without protein.

Actually, I very much prefer that people do stick in 20-30% fat range and thus, I like people to up fat intake as they up cal count. less than 20% cals from fat may stop O

As a general rule, I disagree, provided total cals are high enough. And no PCOS or extenuating circumstances. As long as enough cals are consumed, the body will make any fat it needs from broken down carbs.

Yeah, I know we're not going to agree on this. I am trying to prevent people from losing ovulation here and I believe that getting at least 30 g fat and 20-30% range is a necessity for that.
