    There's at least four portions there, maybe six if you add some salad or green vegetables too. How much did you eat?

    Im never ever posting my portions on here, thats all I can say :)

    Although I cooked half a sweet potato tonight and left the other half uncooked.

    Shock horror. Actually, Ive not eaten very much today, I dont eat anything on a Sunday morning as I do a thump boxing class at 11am and if I ate breakfast and did the class after it would not be pretty.

    Not had crisps in a few days and Im losing the inclination to have any. Also not drinking alcohol either.

    I'm trying to help Tink2 as she's obviously been struggling with her diet. Is that so wrong?

    I was joking, I didnt expect anyone to respond to what I said.

    I'm not struggling anymore

    It wouldn't matter if I ate the whole half at once or quarter and then a quarter later the calories would still be the same

    Its similar to boxercise, but the training is done under the brand of ricky hatton boxing, they used to call it that but changed it to thump.

    Its a freestyle class so two classes are never the same. You learn different combinations of punches and you do some cardio in between as well. I do it twice a week, its helped with my fitness a lot.

    I thought you meant you were having a quarter and saving the other quarter for another meal tomorrow?

    You do know there's almost 600 kcal in half a sheet of just-rol puff pastry alone, before you add any toppings?

    The recommended portion size is 50g so that's approx a sixth of a sheet. I really don't know what to say if you're telling me you're eating half of that in one day :huh:
