However I am not…

How do I stop snack cravings?

But I can't stop snacking!! I think it is because I am so used to be being on my feet and running around and now that I am just sitting unless I am…

Are smoothies really that calorific?
I never have time to actually weigh out what I am putting in smoothies as I make a super large batch every few days before work and take a flask with me to work to keep me going in the afternoons. Wondering if someone could estimate what calories my usual one would have as being around 300/400 a cup from what I have seen…
