    Hello there! Sounds like you are consuming a lot of good stuff for breaky, but perhaps too much, at 700 cals? A good alternative would be some untoasted (and mix it with toasted for better taste although this increases the cals slightly) with a banana or some other kind of fruit and some low fat milk. You could add a few nuts now and again if you wish. Another good breaky option is poached or boiled eggs, very low in cals and high in nutrition and protein, perhaps with avocado for good fats and a slice or two of wholemeal or rye bread. Good luck!! :) I have just joined, and my main issue is not finding low fat or low carb snacks and finding a good alternative for if I feel like junk food / snacky at night time!! Any ideas?? Thanks

    Surprised people don't eat more calories earlier in the day -- they're easier to burn!

    I don't understand why it's easier to burn.

    It isn't, this kind of thinking ignores that the total calories for the day are the thing.

    Have 'em all at dinner if it suits your life and energy levels.

    Which is wot I do, 'coz it works for me. :)

    On topic, around 30 calories of milk in my coffee, that does me until around 7:30pm ... It's not like I'm bricklaying or digging holes during the day ...

    I only just started this diet, I have 4st to lose. So far my breakfasts are about 220, poached egg on toast cup of tea, or porridge and cup of tea, or frut & fibre cereal and strawberries.. when I am busy at work though I tend to skip it and just grab the cup of tea! Home with a broken ankle and hoping I don't put on more weight.

    400-500, sometimes even up to 600, depends on whether I've worked out pre-breakfast, how I'm feeling etc. If I try and skimp on breakfast I pick all day.

    Between 200-300 calories, but i tend to eat little and often throughout the day rather than have big, set meals.

    Most work days consist of

    whole wheat hamburger bun
    turkey sausage
    fat free cheese
    1 large egg fried

    It is a great breakfast sandwich to get me going for the day.
    310 calories I think it is. :D

    I have always skipped breakfast, although there's an idea that breakfast is important.

    I find that if I skip it keeps my calories down, but I don't know if I should. I always have a cup of tea.

    Normally between 4-500. I like eating pretty sweet stuff for breakfast so it's bit like having my dessert eaten early in the day! : ) Yum!
