Struggling with the calorie-count today (and yesterday). Carbs are OK - around 40g/day, but cals for the past 2 days have been around 2,000 which is NOT where I want to be at this stage. I don't want to be snacking, either, but I don't know what has sparked me off, because all was going well until yesterday.
:-(
Hi @adriangoatseye! I have got the calorie count back in a headlock thanks, but I will certainly bear your kind offer in mind - although I am saving that 3-year-old cup-a-soup as a special treat for Christmas!Hope you got the calorie count down, debrasue. I was fairly appalling the last 2 days and went over 2,000 cals. Today I simply switched to the 5:2 diet and have kept it to around 590 so far by eating nothing all day and having fahita chicken/mushrooms/onion with cheese melted over it followed by 3 raspberries (unashamedly stolen from my children) and 5 grapes). Will have a cup of tea later so will totter just over the 600 mark. After early success and losing 4lbs in one week I lost precisely nothing in the second week because I was on holiday in devon and succumbed to a Cornish pasty and a devon cream tea plus I had no scales.
Hope things are going OK and if I hear more 2000+ cal days I will send my two littluns round. Once they have finished devouring everything in sight you will only have enough to get to 500 cals anyway (and that will require hooking out that 3 year old cup a soup from under the sofa)
If I am struggling I might have to book them in at mine for a few days...Im sticking with my 1360 calories this week so far tho so not yet. Im weird because I find it easier to say no to food when Im in company. If Im sitting in thinking what to cook and dont feel like figuring it out, thats when I eat over my calories. Christmas was easy to say no to cake and biscuits and potatoes. Heres hoping Easter will be the same,I will send my two littluns round.

Good on ya, @Kyi - we are back on track!!If I am struggling I might have to book them in at mine for a few days...Im sticking with my 1360 calories this week so far tho so not yet.

Hmm Lets hope you didnt add the whole chilli pot in. 1 pot contains 4.5g of carbs as there are 3 portions in a pot (see nutritional values 8g is a portion). Compare this to the tin of chicken curry and I hope it was worth it when it adds in over 1/2 can equivalent of carbs. I know this because I have been reading stock labels lol and went wow when I saw the amount of carbs in a portion.D Chicken curry (added a Knorr chilli pot for better spicing) with courgetti spaghetti
No didn't have the whole potHmm Lets hope you didnt add the whole chilli pot in. 1 pot contains 4.5g of carbs as there are 3 portions in a pot (see nutritional values 8g is a portion).
