I'm in the full fluids phase for 2 weeks and I'm trying to figure out how to get in around 500 calories and 60 gms of protein, plus 48 oz of water.
I can eat about 2-3 oz per meal so far before I start feeling pain (is that what "full" feels like?). Today I tried having 2 oz of muscle milk for breakfast. 2oz creamed tomato soup for lunch. Jello for afternoon snack. Another 2oz of muscle milk for dinner, and since I felt I was behind (and hungry), another 2oz of muscle milk a few hours later.
The rest of the time I drank water and got in about 30 oz.
So all together, I've had only 164 calories and 23 grams of protein. I must be doing this wrong.
I could try having 7 2oz meals of beef broth throughout the day. I would get 322 calories and 63 grams of protein. That would take all day and I wouldn't have time to get much water in.
Is there another way I should be thinking about this?
