@DJC3 One of the first things I bought was scales accurate to 1 gram. I have taken values from Waitrose website or other supermarkets as well as MFP. I used Collins gem calories and carbs but values may not be perfect. Big thing for me is the fibre column I try for 30 gms per day at least. I will add 28 gms of walnuts and psyllium husk powder if I am not reaching that target. Avocado adds about 2 gms carb and 6.7 gms fibre according to Waitrose website.@ianpspurs I’m impressed by the fine detail, I think I may be rounding up, or more often down a bit too much. I’ve never scored a mackerel salad at 13g carbs. I need to be a bit less slapdash I think.

@DJC3 Thanks for that. My wife would say I am stubborn but I refuse to accept that! The disciplined element comes from being competitive and having a big hole where team sport used to be. Lowering bg and weight, with exercise being a key element, has given me back something I understand and enjoy. Another part of my home gym comes today so all good!@ianpspurs I appreciate your sharing - very helpful to us just starting on this road. I’m sure you will see your 4.8 again regularly: you are amazingly disciplined.
@HarrisonK Great attitude you will smash it! In your image you look uncannily like the guy who was my best man - were you ever a Headmaster in Mansfield?. My cross trainer arrived yesterday so I can finally start some controlled exercise.
