Am I eating too many calories?

Thanks for answering everyone!

This is what I had today:

Breakfast 9 oz. of skim milk with protein powder: 186 calories

Lunch: 3 oz of egg salad: 270 calories

Snack: 3 oz. of protein drink: 42 calories

Dinner: Tuna Salad: 92 calories

Snack: 3 oz. of pureed mangoes (baby food) 40 calories

Total: 630 calories

I did look at my guide and I am following it...3 meals a day, plus 2 snacks. It says nothing about calories though.

This is just disheartening. I did expect to be taking in less calories this early in the process. I dunno what's going on, I'm just hungry. If I'm screwing up already, I'm probably just gonna gain all the weight back

Dense proteins will fill you up faster and keep you full longer. It's not that you're screwing up, it's that foods like protein shakes and pureed mango go through your sleeve faster.  Once you're able to eat dense proteins, you will be less hungry.

270 calories for egg salad sounds pretty high. Double check that. If it is correct maybe find something better? Other than that it looks ok 😉
