    yes! oxo cubes are the answer for me :-) i know they have salt etc but something has to give - and lots of cups of hot water (luckily that comes without any undesired side-effects)

    Im usually hungry a lot anyway, but yeah. Still having salad for lunch (chicken or fish with avocado and sweet potato), but making heartier evening meals....the curry version of shepherds pies from this months good food magazine is amazing with sweet potato. Filling up between meals with nuts, fruit and protein shakes :)

    I'm in the east and have been having to walk 5 miles each way to work and back in temperatures of around -10 owing to snow/ice (I usually cycle). My HRM told me just one journey used 655 cals so doing that twice a day before any additional exercise my TDEE is up to over 3,000 cals, so yeah, I am trying to eat more.

    I've been wanting more stodgy foods - eg potatoes etc instead of soup. If its in my calorie gaol I'll have what I fancy especially as I spend over an hour walking everyday outside in the cold.

    I do, but I try to counter it by making big veggie stews and vegetable soups for minimal calories :)

    I made a huge vegetable soup the other week - quite filling but ended up being about 50 calories per servce!!!!!!

    Ah, thanks for suggestion, big veggie casserole coming any day now up, because like others I have gone right off salad in this weather.

    BTW any UK looking for a bit of mini stodge, Morrison's have Weight Watchers meals on offer at £1.25, bagged bangers & mash for a meal sometime, hope it is not donkey bangers though, may give me the trots:laugh:

    For non UK, the Irish food standards folk have found horse meat in some supermarket beefburgers on sale in UK & Ireland, which, as the French will verify, is OK to eat, but not beef
