A week off plan
So I just weighed myself after a week of eating anything and everything - multiple meals out, desserts after every meal, chocolate to end every night and 4 slices of bread, cereal and lattes to start every morning.

Calories in my afternoon tea
VEGAN Afternoon Tea So I had two different sandwiches, one with cucumber and tomato in the other just salad leaves (I dont think they had any vegan sandwich ideas!). There was two slices of each (whats in the photo + the same again). They said it was vegan bread, i think they used gluten free as it was very dry. I then had…

No fruit after dinner
I keep hearing you should only eat fruit on an empty stomach because it digests faster so shouldnt be sitting above your main meal. Thoughts? Me personally, i just had an apple after a 600 cal dinner! I have to have something sweet after a main meal and would rather get it from fruit.

Will the…

Calorie amount
Right, i started mfp two weeks ago and have lost 9lb so far. Shocked and amazed! My goal each week is set at 1.5lb but beofore mfp i would eat healthy, but too much. Think 10+ pieces of fruit a day, and big portion sizes, so i know a lot of the loss is from bloating. So now i weigh 13st 2.6 or 184.6lb with a target of 10st…
