Ok so I have this theory... it's like food cravings. If you are craving a piece of cheesecake, and all you can think about is cheesecake, but you feel guilty about eating cheesecake, you try to eat something else to fill that craving.

That's what I was thinking, but I struggle to try to eat the 1200 a day as it is! I am pretty conscious of the value of certain foods, for instance I only just started eating peanut butter again!! I was worried that if I ate too much for breakfast that I wouldn't have enough calories left for supper or post workout. I…
