*DFW lets get rid of the lbs without spending £££'s Weight Loss thread*

How many calories in a teaspoon of honey?

Breakfast today was tesco own brand ready brek. Packet said 30g but that hardly covered the bottom of the bowl so poured out what I would normally have and added a tablespoon of oatbran. This weighed at 50g. Packet has 180 calories counted for 30g with semi-skimmed milk but i used skimmed then added 1tsp honey. So I am going to say 250 cals unless anyone can show me how to work it out differently.

I would normally add about 4 tsps of sweetener but I read a report somewhere that artificial sweeteners can slow down weight loss so I use honey instead now and find I can get away with soooooo much less. Adding the oatbran adds a nuttier flavour too and a bit of a bite if you are not keen on mush:rotfl:.

Lunch will be soup, I have some frozen which when I was doing SS would count as no points so not sure how many calories but all veg anyway.

Tea - don't know yet - whatever DH buys on his way home at lunchtime probably. As long as it isn't pasta - have gone off pasta.

Off to spend a half hour on the wii fit before showering and getting ready for work.

Scottishmummy - according to www.foodfocus.co.uk there are 12 cals in one spoonful of honey. You can use that site for free to log stuff and work out cals.

Thanks for that link SS. According to that site I could lose 6 st by August on 1056 calories per day:eek:. Think that would be going some but I'll certainly look at some more on there.

Just looked at that foodfocus website some more and according to it the last two days I have eaten less than 1000 calories each. Will need to be careful I don't go too low or the metabolism will slow down and I still won't lose anything.
