    When writing the weekly shopping list, we discuss what meals we're going to make that week. Which days we eat what depends what we fancy and how much time we have. Once sthg is made, we cross it off the list and have fewer to choose from.

    Day to day I also plan food. I'll have breakfast, log it, then work out what else I'm eating that day. For example today I was at home - had breakfast, decided I was feeling sorry for myself (I have muscle damage to my shoulder that's causing lots of pain) so had a jacket potato with a filling made of cheese, tomato, onion and chilli. That was about 500 cals, and since I wanted a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, I planned dinner to be a 200 calorie spicy bean and tomato thing I make. I know tomorrow's dinner will have more calories (stuffed courgettes with cheesy topping) so I know I'll have to take more care over lunch calories.
