Pete points out again how important it is to raise these little issues specifically with your doctors so that even general guidelines on how many calories you need can be tailored to your specific situation. My medical team also felt that 3000 calories was not necessary and certainly not practical given my monomaniac insistence on not having a PEG and felt 2100 would do. Since I was a slug during treatment - it was fine. Now that I work out 6 days a week again, I need more calories, but I can eat solid food and swallow really well.
