Worried I'm going to mess this up!
 
So glad to have found this board! I don't know anyone that does the low protein lifestyle and am full of questions. Any help you can offer would be so greatly appreciated!

I know while working towards my goal weight I need to stay under 30 carbs. I am wondering though if there are max numbers for protein, fat, and calories. I just want to make sure that I fully understand and don't screw things up. I am extremely motivated to get all this weight off and live a healthier life!

Thanks for your help! :D

Try this, IMHO you won't have to worry about too much about calories. The ratio of fats to protein is important. Too much protein can stall/slow a lot of people.

Thanks newlowc! I had actually done that and it said that my protein should be 110 and fat should be 173. My problem is that I am no where close to getting that most days. I am fine staying under the 30 carbs but am unsure how to get the protein and fat up. I use myfitnesspal to track it all but with what I'm eating I'm just not real hungry.

Also not sure what to expect for weightloss. I have lost about 9 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Is this about right or should I be losing more?

Again, thanks so much for your help!!!

There is no "right" , it is just you, so we celebrate a 9 lb. loss! Post a day's meals and there are many great people here to help.

My fat sources are: butter, olive oil, coconut oil, macadamia oil, avocado, full fat salad dressing, Heavy whipping cream, fatty cuts of meat.

I think if you are doing it right your appetite will decrease. Eat when hungry, stop when satisfied, not full.

The Drs Eades have a Protein calculator in their book, since that is the plan you are on, use that one.
