Is that all? Have you had your evening meal yet? There is very little fat in that lot. I think you might benefit from buying Trudi Deakin's Eat Fat book, and investing in the Carbs & Cals book. Both available from the X Pert website shop. http://www.xperthealth.org.uk/home/trudi-deakin

Scottie's suggestion about using My Fitness Pal website is a good one, but you do have to be very careful when you use the foods on their data base as many have the wrong amounts. They are all member submitted, and not everyone enters them correctly or with UK products. I use it, but I always check the labels etc and enter my own rather than use their data base. Once that is done, it is excellent for keeping track of your carbs and cals, proteins and fats.

Very impressive Clive, you seem to have a good job. I bet it's interesting to say the least.

I think you may have to include more in your daily allowance, you only seem to have had 2 small-ish meals today, is that correct? Maybe try and have three so you are getting your fat intake, or include some snacks. It's just finding what's right for you and then it will work, with low carbs and high fats. I must admit, I am finding it hard to have 3 meals daily. Also, don't cut out the carbs altogether as that could cause you to be ill.

This is like the blind leading the blind, haha.

We'll get you there soon, don't worry xx

Thanks scottie,i love my job, been to and stayed in some amazing places, and had some famous people on board,last week had some morrocan diplomats on board , they gave me a rug! ( doesn't fly) lol.
 
Oh, that's a shame Clive, you could have come and picked me up for a magic carpet ride, haha.

Isn't working so much better when you love your job? So glad you like it, are they okay about you having time off for your op, I do hope so.
