Oh good. Feel better for it?

yeah, and i also talked my friend into sending off f&f offers to a couple of her DCAs, she was going to pay the full amount but i showed her that they'll take less.

Amazing itsn't it....I did have a 250g (cooked) plate of pasta which actually I didn't struggle eating so couldn't have been that big...that was 850 on its own :eek:

Pasta has loads of calories in - about 350 per 100g before sauces etc - if you feel you need the carbs from running (I know I do ) but want to eat less calories swtich to brown rice or potato or cous cous or bulga wheat

You tend to eat much less rice etc (even though its calorific) since it swells after you eat it - not just during cooking like pasta

Yes I know it has loads which Is why I weigh my portions as its easy to put yourself a plate and wham 1000 gone! Never tried Bulga wheat but I live on cous cous and quinoa

Bulga wheat is nice Great with bacon and sald mmmm

I can never make quinoa taste good unless I put it in soup (I know I am weird), but I do love a good old portion of lentils as well - in fact I am carbtastic at the moment - had three bagels for lunch
