Carbs, Fats, and Sugars
In a meting with the nutritionist, she mentioned I shouldn't eat things with so many grams of carbs, fat, and sugar. I think it was like 5 grams. Does anyone know for sure?

I do think the numbers are no more than 10 g per meal......
If you check .....a half of a med apple is like 8 sugar,
......3 ounces of seedless grapes are about 9 / 10 sugar..
so kind of hard to eat right and not take in more than 10 sugars a day....
so think it is most likely to be 5 to 10 sugar per meal.
Just my thoughts on this. :)

I always thought the rule was to eat things that had no more than 5-8g of sugar per serving, not per day. Anything more that that is a too sugary food.
Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
I have my 40% 30% 30% put into my fitness pal and follow that. (it automatically sets the rest) for sugars and such. that being said the first time i had something with sugar in it was a 1/2 cup frozen yogurt yesterday and still stayed under 12g for my entire day
My second chance... November 15, 2012
My NUT told me a couple of weeks ago that each serving should be 15g of carbs or less, 10g of sugar and 5g of fat. She said obviously it may be a bit higher here and there but to use that as a guide and when looking at nutritional info on the package to make sure you take into account your serving-they may be showing something that is a cup and you will only have 1/2 a cup so cut totals in half to calculate.
Holy cow. A lot of different answers. Now I'm really confused :). My surgery is Tuesday and I do believe the NUT will come to see me at the hospital. I will double check then. Won't get to worried about it right now. Lets get through the surgery first!
