Combining slimming world with calorie counting

I tried it...didnt work for me. sw works as a diet yes but only cos u stuff yourself full of free food, once u start counting the calories youll find those big plates of pasta are tiny...and forget about all the unlimited fruit, boiled eggs, cuts of cold meat etc that u can snack on, when counting the calories especially if your only on 1200 youll find its a restrictive 3 tiny meals a day . If your gonna do sw do it properly, it does work but for me I need to eat fat to feel satisfied. Its very difficult to fit in food I love into sw...like crisps, bread, oil, peanut butter etc. Mfp allows me to eat the things I like, I got awful cravings for fat when I followed slimming world, and trying to do it whilst counting the calories just made me miserable.
