    You don't need to count the cals on all veg. The only 4 that you need to count cals for are sweetcorn (but not baby corn) parsnips, peas and tatties - pretty much all other veg are calorie free :T

    Yeah but on Daily Burn (the site I used to use and have now managed to find!!) even lettuce has a calorie content of 10 for 1 serving, the only thing that doesn't is cucumber although I am thinking that must have calories.

    Guess Slimming World would be easier as all fruit and veg is free (obviously not fried though:rotfl:) and I can do points for the rest.

    Hmmm - decisions, decisions!!

    With WW, fruit is pointed but most veg isn't but I have to say that when I went to SS, all they did was promote eating leaves all the time whilst WW 'allows' you to pick and choose what you eat...I know which I prefer! :D

    Today I have eaten the following:

    1.5 slices of medium toast, butter, 2 eggs (cooked with Frylight) and half a tin of beans - 643 :eek:

    Chicken flavoured Supernoodles - 198

    Vegetarian Chicken Kiev, home made oven chips/sweet potato and salad - 784

    Plus low fat squash which is virtually fat free!!

    Total for today - 1729 :eek: What pushed up the tea was 1 teaspoon of mayo and 2 of salad cream - will have to get the low fat versions or not eat it at all

    Good job I had nothing else!!

    Tomorrow I will get my Slimming World books out and see how well I did if I was following that diet!

    Ah I see EE, heres me thinking you were some kind of calorie wizard! I did have a good day today - for tea I had 2 fish fingers, a small portion of wedges and then filled up on green beans and it did actually fill me up....

    But then I got bored ;) always dangerous when I get bored because I start to cook things. This time it was german style pretzels. But oh no, I couldn't just make one.
    I had to make 4, with different styles of wash to find out which worked bet for the most authentic taste. Which meant of course I had to TASTE them all too when they were done. In case anyone's interested, dipping the raw dough in boiling bicarb of soda works best. To be fair I didn't eat all for, I had a little bite of eat to test, but I still feel guilty now because I didn't need it at all, my biggest problem is that I love cooking, but of course there is a fattening by-product from that!

    Anyway enough rambling, COMP that sounds bloody painful, I broke one of my foot bones once (dropped a bottle of coke on it :o) and that was painful enough but your toe must really hurt!

    I'm sorry to harp on and on but extra light mayo has ALOT less calories/sat fat than regular!

    Hi all, late pad for me today - another £1 to Barclaycard. Went out and about for a change today. :D


    But is it not a good thing that it's like torture? It must be working :D

    Oh God I hope so, I'm in agony. Day 3 today and shred was not any easier. *sob* Standing up and sitting down is sore, walking up and down stairs is sore, I wake up in the morning sore - I must be really unfit! :eek::rotfl:

  • No pad today.. Foodwise I woke up with a migraine, so didn't eat anything til the last of the pasta bake at 12.30ish and went to see Thriller at Audley End house tonight with a friend and her friends, so I finished off the pringles and had two tracker bar things, pineapple, a couple of baby scotch eggs and sausage rolls. I also had most of the 70cl bottle of malibu, literally about 1" left in the bottom of it. Just a teeny bit tipsy right now. Whoops.
