mothers day and working out for my supper
Its mothers day in the UK today. I have been treated to dinner by my husband and daughter. Steak pizziola and chocolate mouse. I've done my best to calculate the calories from a list of ingredients. I'm left with 11 calories for the rest of the day!!! Luckily I have circuits later so will at least earn enough for a protein…

why did my exercise calories change?
Earlier this evening I had earned 100 calories from exercise (my fitbit is attached to my phone which has mfp). I haven't trained today so that is from the dog walk, housework etc. I planned my evening meal so that I ate exactly enough to leave me with 50 caloires (the 50% of exercise calories that is recommended) I've…

Take away/cheat meal
It's Friday night and that means take away in my house!! I've done my best to pick low cal (plain rice and prawn shaslik which is dry) but does anyone know of a website where I can look up typical calorie content for foods? I am tracking with My Fitness Pal but they don't have many entries for junk food! Is it OK to save…

low calorie snacks
hi I have just strted calorie counting and think I am doing OK. I originally started with my settings to loose 1lb a week and I was very easily living on the 1600 I was allocated. I lost 1lb a week for the first 2 weeks then decided to change my goal to 2lbs a week. 1200 is much harder to stick to! I think i'm Ok for meals…
