    I've calculated that I've had 1496 calories today, which I suppose could be a lot worse. I did use a DIY pack as I have NO idea how to make them from scratch! It's the first time I've ever had them!

    Tomorrow will be better.

    Slowlyfading - don't be so hard on yourself!! Seriously!! :) That calorie amount is my average daily intake - and I lose weight on that. So no more "tomorrow will be better".

    It is hard isn't it - cause I don't write down every little morsel that enters my mouth when I do my food diary. So I guess it's harder for other people to 'judge' what we're eating. I guess I write mine out more as a check on not deviating from my planned meals (lol not giving in to a take away).
    This is actually what I've eaten today:

    Breakfast - branflakes and wheatbix. = 36g of tescos branflakes, 1 asda weetabix, 24g of tescos luxury mixed dried fruit, and 200ml of semi skimmed milk. = 346 calories

    Lunch - beef meatballs with tomato and basil sauce with boiled veggies. = 83g of mince, 1/6 red onion, 1 tablespoon of tomato puree, teaspoon dried parsley, teaspoon dried oregano (grilled), 133g of tomato passata, leaves of fresh basil, 1/6 of a beef stock cube, a chunk of white cabbage, about half a carrot, 4 or so sprouts, 4 green beans, 1 stringless bean. = 220 calories

    Mid afternoon snack - yoghurt, scotch pancake = full fat asda finest lemon curd yoghurt, 1 scotch pancake = 343 calories

    Tea - chicken & prosciutto with roast veggies. = 170g of chicken, 30g of prosciutto, 10 sprouts, 1.5 large carrots, 50g green beans, 50g stringless beans, 0.5 green bell pepper, 4 san mazarno (large cherry) tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic, 0.5 red onion, 4 shallots, 0.5 corn on the cob, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. = 708 calories.

    Snacks - 1 hotel chocolat truffle. = 60 calories

    Total for the day: 1677 calories.
