Ok, so I hadn't lost any weight in a few days and I thought I was being absolutely religious about tracking everything and exercising. Until I remembered that I forgot..... the raisins! I was adding a few raisins to my Weight control Oatmeal in the morning and a few again for lunch. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN A FEW RAISINS???!?!? 130 calories, twice a day = holy crap!

    Tell me about it! I love raisins, but like all dried fruit they have a lot of calories. A good rule to follow re this is only to eat the same number of a fruit dried as you would fresh, eg 1 or 2 dried apricots, not 5 or 6! I learnt this the hard way when, like you, I first looked up the calories!

    Yeah raisins are killer if you eat too much. There great for people how love to do long outdoor activities such as hiking.
