thanks anth...
i think that looks too high though! if i cut it down to 1300-500.. will anything dramatic happen?

no,

but you'd better take a lot of proteins (not to lose too much LBM)

and take anti-catabolic sup (L-Glutamine and/or BCAAs)

protein 200g?

i just bought some UDO's oil...is this ok?

i take the other supps as well

Rez, I am prolly having jaw surgery in two days and will have 12 calories per lb of body weight with a high % being protien, and I'll also replace a lot of carbs with fat. Lower glycolitic activity = lower carb intake. BMR burns a higher percentage fat than activity. Doctor says 2 weeks of no lifting. I think I may make it 1.5 or 1 since I can't stand sitting around.

Anyway, don't deprive yourself too much --- right now is not the time for a very hypocaloric diet. just remain hydrated and weigh yourself frequently. A few hundred calories extra per day for one week is less than one pound, and you are probably underestimating your metabolism (why would yours be lower than average?). Lapses in lifting will not ruin your physique, either.

Damn... I need to consume a liquid diet for a week.

protein 200g?

i take the other supps as well

107pounds = 48.5 kg

48.5 kg X 2 g prot/kg # 100g protein (that's what you need)

so with 200g it is far enough

and UDO's is a good oil (with all the EFAs)
