Hi All,

Just joined this site yesterday and amazed at what number of calories my "healthy snacks" like oat cakes (with humus) and rice cakes (with philadelphia) were adding up to....

Anyone in my part of the world to team up with?

Cheers all.

Anna

    Dave - I suggest you hold a pack of bacon and I let my GS off the lead..... imagine what exercise you would get this way?
    Running at 60 miles per hour through Wanstead Flats.. wohoooooo

    I know, some of those "healthy" choices are a shocker. Jacket spud with tuna may nearly killed me! I'm in Enfield, so pretty close by.

    Has anyone UK based got some quick cheap and cheerful breakfast ideas that do not use up most of daily calories allowance?

    And that does nto involved English sausages (yukkk - sorry, ALL of them).

    My fav breakfast , when put into here clocked up nearly 300 calories and that gave me a real fright....

    Thanks for any ideas...

    I'm down on the South Coast, but as for breakfast, a programme I was on over 30 years ago, which was brilliant, insisted on protein at every meal... and you were only allowed 4 eggs a week .... so a lowcal option I have stuck with ever since is cottage cheese, with toast and Marmite (OK you might hate that!) - but you can get all the cottage cheese with.... and a small tub usually lasts me about 5days. That keeps me going till lunchtime!
    Hope you find some more local people - I find this site brilliant, and a big help in making me aware of just how many cals there are in things - I've only been on 2weeks and am 8 lbs down - grrrreat!

    Florawanda - thanks for posting :)

    Yep, can not stand the taste of marmite LOL

    BUT love houmus.. too many cal in houmous...

    Still finding my way around all this but the site is brilliant.

    Right now trying to figure out how to calculate calories in hoe made soups... Hmmmmm

    300 calories for breakfast is not bad seeing as you are supposed to eat 1200 or above if you're exercising x
