i used a weight calculator program to arrive at the below listed daily numbers: to maintain your current weight- calories: 1 767 carbohydrate: (55%) 972 protein: (15%) 265 fat: (30%) 530 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to lose one (1) lb. per week calories: 1 267 carbohydrate: (55%) 697 protein: (15%) 190 fat: (30%) 380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to gain one (1) lb. per week calories: 2 267 carbohydrate: (55%) 1 247 protein: (15%) 340 fat: (30%) 680 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: in order to calculate you daily caloric needs i had to assume a height. your height was assumed to be 5' 5". the calculations are recommendations based upon a sedentary lifestyle. please consider asking your doctor for a referral to a physical therapy facility. they have equipment that may be conducive for some type of exercise (even passive range of motion exercise might be helpful). a professional physical therapist can develop a customized plan of rehabilitation and strengthening based upon your unique abilities and your doctor's directives. investing some time with the physical therapy will provide you with an opportunity to get out of the house talk with other people develop an exercise plan and maximize your weight goals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
