Me too - I'm the original Carb Addict but I read about this before on MFP and have tried it. Its a great alternative on your "I can do this" days. Although when I "need" bread, I have 1 x 40g thick slice of Greggs Wholemeal bread (about 100cals) on the days when its ...err....more of a challenge!

[/quote] The concept of a US "cup" can be confusing because a cup can either be a liquid or solid measurement. A liquid cup equals exactly 8 fluid ounces. The "cups" of water on MFP are 8 ounces of water. The cup used to measure solid objects, however, is measuring volume, not weight. 1 Cup = 236.58823625 Cubic Centimeters…

I *sorta* agree with the OP, but it might be because I’m in the UK, where we don’t use “cups” to measure. I do wish I could edit to add details, to show 1oz or 100g etc of an item where a “cup” has been used– I’m sure that alone would save a lot of duplicates. It may be because I don’t understand the “cup” measurement –…

Sourced from Health Factors: 80% of Headaches are Caused By Dehydration! Not getting enough water each day can cause serious problems. The human body is in fact 61.8 percent water by weight. Depending on your weight, you should drink between 2.5 litres and 1 gallon of water each day. If you are enduring physical activity,…

I see you're based in the UK, so if you find the nearest chemist which does a "stop smoking clinic", you have a free consultation, complete a form, discuss with the assistant/chemist what NRT products would be suitable for you (patches, gum, mouth spray, etc) and they contact your doctor. Your GP will write a prescription,…

Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply. I've updated my level and MFP have raised me from 1200 to 1280cals...although sometimes I find it difficult to eat 1200. I truly believe your appetite decreases as you get older, so I hope MFP takes this into consideration? I've always eaten healthily (ex-vegetarian) but it…

I LURVE this site but when I read a question like the above, I'm always reminded of Winston Churchill to Roosevelt: "Americans and British are one people separated only by a common language."

I used to weigh myself every morning and even often more than once a day. I threw out my bathroom scales YEARS ago...and relied more on how my clothes felt on me. If the trousers were getting a little "neat", I'd give up the fattening stuff until the trousers were more comfortable. I also found that what the scales showed…

I had a "FRY UP" the other night and it only came to 784 calories! (I usually have about 250 cals for breakfast and another 250 for lunch, so this fry up was really appreciated!) It included tinned tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms, 2 rashers bacon, 1 fried egg, slice wholemeal bread, and 240g of WW oven cooked (home made)…

I use these two most often: www.bbcgoodfood.com for vegetarian recipes and www.diabetes.org.uk for HEALTHY vegetarian meals. (Just because you're a veggie, doesn't mean that you are slim and healthy :wink: )
