    i put myself up to maintenance calories for a week while recovering from surgery. my mom brought me a half dozen bagels, matzoh ball soup and the best tuna salad ever. i had no trouble hitting or exceeding maintenance goals. back to cutting today. but that still includes an easy mac with tuna for lunch cause i haven't done any shopping or batch cooking.

    Had wine and chips last night for a snack. Went together surprisingly well.

    No joke - Scotch and doritos, it's fantastic together!

    Not a fan of Doritos. Think it'd be okay if I replaced the Doritos with Scotch?

    More scotch the better. Scotch for days, as they say.

    So, I have a craving for toast and peanut butter. Something I haven't had in a while. Grocery shopping so I start looking at bread and decide to buy a loaf. Pick up the cheapest one, and look at the calories. About 75 per slice. I check out another one that is about 50 per slice, but a bit pricier. So I take the lower cal count one.

    Guess I should have checked the label a bit closer. The only reason for the lower calorie count is they slice these things paper thing. On a gram per gram basis, it's no different, just that the slices are 2/3rds the thickness.

    Enjoyed my snack and I will put money on me throwing more than 1/2 the loaf away as I'm sure I won't get through it. But it makes up the the wings I had Friday (I guess).

    Stick the rest of the loaf in the freezer, then you'll have some available if you get a toast craving again! It should be good for a month or two. :)

    And yeah, I've been caught out by bread before now... the loaf that I thought was way lower calories turned out to be for just one slice instead of two, so it was actually around the same as the regular stuff! I just don't bother with bread very often now, it's not worth the calories - unless it's one of those with lots of seeds, or a really fresh, crusty unsliced loaf... dammit, now I want a fresh, crusty, unsliced loaf! Going to have to try making one sometime soon.

    This is me!! I have not massively changed my eating habits, I am just trying to eat less, and as long as I am under my calorie goal and do not go over my daily "fat" allowance most days, I am happy. Completely overhauling my diet, eating "clean" quite frankly would lead to me probably falling down and eating nutella out of the jar with a spoon. I know me, and it needs to suit me and be sustainable for me.

    I AM trying to eat less bread, and less fizzy pop, so have bought some flavoured water instead, but other than that, so far I have not made massive changed other than portion size or a different way of cooking.

    We do the same with fuzzy flavored waters in our house. They're very satisfying!

    I've got a sodastream and am finding the fizzy water without flavouring is all I need.

    So, @Verity1111 how is the group? I requested to join, but I guess I'm not dirty enough for it :)
