I need some more advise!
The last time I stalled, I upped my protien to 100 grams a day, which I am still doing (see sample menu at bottom). My NUT told me no more than 80 grams of protien and keep my calories between 600-800 up to 6 mos out. I am also, wondering if maybe calories are too low.
Please advise me on your thoughts....
Morning
20 oz crystal light upon rising
protien coffee (unflavored unjury) 20G
20 oz diet V8 splash w/protien 20G
Lunch is unusally one of the following
Wendy's chili w/cheese 20 G
or
edamame and cottage cheese 23 G
or
Wendy's Grilled Chicken sandwich NO BUN 21 G
Snack
protien coffee
Dinner
Usually the protien part of a lean cuisine 16-20 G
or
protien and a veggie
Sometimes I will eat grapefruit sections in their own juice (45 cals)
Please give me your thoughts.....

I'm guessing you started with a low BMI so you are probably right on track. The more you weigh the more you are going to lose per month. You have to figure the percentage you have lost not the pounds.
I think I was between 400-600 calories at about 4 months. If I'm looking at your menu right you had 60 grams of Whey Protein? I only count my Protein that I get through Whey and my goal is always over 100g. Any protein I get from food is a bonus.
Everyone's different so just keep juggling things to see what works for you.

I only count my Whey Protein now and eat low carb.
Is your Protein low carb and no sugar? Are you getting other fluids in?

i started slowing down at 5 months i raised my protien to over 1hundred a day and lower my carbs to under 3o net you will lose slower than a heavyweight but it will all come off most likely the addional calories coming from protien wont hurt and may help
