    Had wine and chips last night for a snack. Went together surprisingly well.

    No joke - Scotch and doritos, it's fantastic together!

    Not a fan of Doritos. Think it'd be okay if I replaced the Doritos with Scotch?

    More scotch the better. Scotch for days, as they say.

    So, I have a craving for toast and peanut butter. Something I haven't had in a while. Grocery shopping so I start looking at bread and decide to buy a loaf. Pick up the cheapest one, and look at the calories. About 75 per slice. I check out another one that is about 50 per slice, but a bit pricier. So I take the lower cal count one.

    Guess I should have checked the label a bit closer. The only reason for the lower calorie count is they slice these things paper thing. On a gram per gram basis, it's no different, just that the slices are 2/3rds the thickness.

    Enjoyed my snack and I will put money on me throwing more than 1/2 the loaf away as I'm sure I won't get through it. But it makes up the the wings I had Friday (I guess).

    Stick the rest of the loaf in the freezer, then you'll have some available if you get a toast craving again! It should be good for a month or two. :)

    And yeah, I've been caught out by bread before now... the loaf that I thought was way lower calories turned out to be for just one slice instead of two, so it was actually around the same as the regular stuff! I just don't bother with bread very often now, it's not worth the calories - unless it's one of those with lots of seeds, or a really fresh, crusty unsliced loaf... dammit, now I want a fresh, crusty, unsliced loaf! Going to have to try making one sometime soon.

    This is me!! I have not massively changed my eating habits, I am just trying to eat less, and as long as I am under my calorie goal and do not go over my daily "fat" allowance most days, I am happy. Completely overhauling my diet, eating "clean" quite frankly would lead to me probably falling down and eating nutella out of the jar with a spoon. I know me, and it needs to suit me and be sustainable for me.

    I AM trying to eat less bread, and less fizzy pop, so have bought some flavoured water instead, but other than that, so far I have not made massive changed other than portion size or a different way of cooking.

    We do the same with fuzzy flavored waters in our house. They're very satisfying!

    I'm eating the last Girl Scout cookie as I browse these posts. Feel free to add me as I'm always looking for new friends!

    I've got a sodastream and am finding the fizzy water without flavouring is all I need.

    Has anyone ever had Mom's Best brand cereals? Cause I have; but I just got a new-to-me flavor at the store; the honey grahm ones. Oh my lands it's like eating spoonfulls of cinnamon sugar grahm crackers. Really struggling to only eat them for breakfast LOL. They're 100% carbs of course but one serving of cereal is easy to balance out in the rest of the day

    They have a coco-puff marshmallow cereal that is AMAZEBALLS.

    I made a cauliflower crusted pizza last night and it actually tasted good??? I guess because the crust is half parmesan cheese :wink: Maybe it just felt good to eat half a pizza again :wink:

    I don't eat healthy or "clean" and I haven't since I started MFP, but learning about calories and staying within the limits (with exercise 4 days a week) and I have still lost 49 pounds and 7 inches off my waist.

    Healthy and "clean" are so often said to be the only way to lose weight, but lots of others here, including myself, have shown that it can be done without obsessing over what you eat.

    Those that eat healthy and "clean" I give a lot of credit to. Your discipline and dedication gets a lot of respect from me.

    Yeah, I suppose I can also say that I do eat healthIER than I used to, since I don't snack on as much chocolate and cake these days! I still have things like that, but I'm much more aware of the calories in them now so I generally have a smaller portion. And there are some things that I used to eat mindlessly that I now don't feel are worth the calories, so I just don't bother!

    How big and how many calories? Because if half the crust was parmesan cheese.... :#

    I'm wondering if I could eat real pizza for the same amount of cals.
