Hi,

I've been recently told that that I shouldn't eat soup, jam or drink coffee with honey??
It sound little ridiculous for me as these sound really healthy to me!

Example of my soup- Broccoli, cauliflower, white long beans or french green beans, carrots and peas. Cooked on small chicken wing or 2 cubes of chicken stock, 2 spoon of sour cream. Soups eaten as broth.
Ive been told thats really due to contain of chicken stock or sour cream...All my life Ive been told to eat soups as they healthy.. now when I am dieting someone told me is actually really not!?ermm... I am really confused.

Same Jam. I bought Blueberries from Tesco, Sainsbury etc. After eating them my tongue is barely purple..
My mum went to mountains and brought fresh blueberries, she picked them herself, she made a jam of it. Without any conservants or preservatives. Only sugar of course.
If I eat a spoon of that like with my greek yogurt or oats in the morning- will it make really difficult to loose weight because of the sugar in it?? Also is not a healthier option that tesco blueberries that come from Holland were they spray them with milion chemicals???

Honey coffee- this was already a topic but i know Honey contain 30% less sugar that actual sugar but I've been told to use sweetener instead... 0 calories.. Is it not get the healthier sugar then?? I need coffee in the morning!Like I do need! I have always had 2 spoons of sugar and milk. I just cant drink black coffee..I cant! Any advises?

    If you are accurately counting the calories in each of these things and they fit into your daily calorie allowance, then I can't see the problem

    As everyone else has said, eat what you like as long as it fits in your calorie goals.

    If you aren't sure how to count your homemade soups and jams, then use the Recipe Builder.

    Stop listening to whoever told you that. And this is especially true given the macronutient suggestion he gave you as 10g fats is dangerously low and irresponsible to recommend to anyone.
