Using the nutritional info given here, if you cooked 1/4 cup it would consist of 160 calories after cooking with water only. Weigh it cooked. If for example it now weighs 12oz, then if you had 4oz of that the calories would be 1/3 of 160 calories given on the packet. ie 53 calories. (Half a cup dry = 320 cals dry and…

If its any consolation, when I read the title, I got what it meant. A hunk of cabbage. Shall try it out as I have never roasted cabbage before. Thanks :)

I eat tons of veggies as im a vegetarian and I must say i tend not to obsess over the calories in low cal vegetables eg lettuce cucumber tomatoes cabbage etc.....i guestimate the calories there. If it was potatoes or parsnips etc., I will be more accurate. If you are losing weight with that method, as I am cool, otherwise…

Personally my calories vary from day to day. I try to keep to around my limit for the most part but, I am rather random in my life and sometimes during the week I eat 1100 cals other days maybe 2500+ cals...im not worried, the pounds are coming off, im chilled, dont feel im on a diet, and if i go mad one day, it doesnt…

1). Crisps.....ready salted, bacon, roast chicken are my favourites....but any flavour will do it!! 2). Crackers and cheese......any and any! 3). Wine....Red especially, but not limited to only wine and booze will do with exceptio to vodka and gin. A half empty bottle belongs to next door :S 4). Nuts......Pistachios,…

I agree with you, but dont weigh everyday. i may go a week, two weeks or maybe a few days depending on my eating and life habits. Whats great is I dont stress about the number so much now. Before i would see a small loss or gain and it would send me off the rails........now I think 'pffff stupid scales, how do my jeans…

I think intuitive eating is possibly a natural way to eat, but you have to be mindful of the years and years we probably used food for reasons other than just to sustain life. I know when I need protein, I just go crazy mad for fish. If you do decide to go ahead with it, look to challenge how you deal with food. Why have…

I can do cardio on empty stomach without a problem but i must cool down slowly or I feel sick as a dog and my head spins like mad whether I have eaten or not. My guess is the blood is pumping to your legs and arms but as you have come to a sudden stop it is pooling in your muscles. Euck.

I know this site is about eating healthy and losing weight etc, but once in a while it wont hurt to not concern yourself with it to that degree. Enjoy the food, and eat what you fancy and savour the flavour. You may find foods you loved before, just dont hit the spot anymore. We had Mothers Day in UK and I ate foods I…

Endomondo on my mobile is good for tracking my cycling and trekking. Bit heavy on battery and ran out half way through a trek (annoyingly) but that's probably my Samsung Galaxy's fault'.

A true inspiration to us all. So very very well done. :happy:

Thanks I love peanut butter, will def try this with apple. :bigsmile:

Thanks for replies, thats great :) Will try to tweak the food and see how that goes and drop the cardio right down especially beforehand.

Brilliant inspiration to us all. Well done, you look very happy :)
